It’s like people who make those posts didn’t remember that the tobacco industry still exists. Literally killing people and lying about it for profit isn’t “company ending” if you have scads of money and lawyers, and a market eager for your poison.

Oddly enough, Scientologists believe lung cancer is caused by not smoking enough[1].

True, but took about much more than a century for that, and for quite a long time tobacco smoke was seen as medicinal!
