Yep, as recently as 2016, a certain candidate lamented that CFCs were not responsible for the ozone hole: http://www.factcheck.org/2016/05/trump-on-hairspray-and-ozon... .
People have tried to politicize the smoking links. Mike Pence in 2001:
pence> Despite the hysteria from the political class and the media, smoking doesn't kill. In fact, 2 out of every three smokers does not die from a smoking related illness and 9 out of ten smokers do not contract lung cancer. This is not to say that smoking is good for you.... news flash: smoking is not good for you. If you are reading this article through the blue haze of cigarette smoke you should quit. The relevant question is, what is more harmful to the nation, second hand smoke or back handed big government disguised in do-gooder healthcare rhetoric.
