If it happened then, so it happens now. Many knew smoking was not good for you even then (smoker's cough and other symptoms were noticed then, the cancer link may not have been) and it was known to damage you physically back then.
But it was big, huge, business. Supported, as all big biz must be, by politicians, special interest groups, lobbyists, and big media.
And let's not forget Tucker and his automobile with innovations for safety and fuel efficiency only now common in most major auto firms.
Back then, he was forcibly put out of business, excoriated, and brought in front of the Big Brother Senate committes.
Like McCarthy. Then, the feds and wealthy sought to bury a major competitor and enemy.
Intelligent screenwriters and moviemakers. Again, the big government and big biz used the patriot ploy. They must be commies, they ain't patriots, cause they don't fall in line and support the plutocracy.
