At any point in the day this company could choose to not do this, and fund scientific healthcare research instead.

Sure, but you could do the same thing, quit your job and become a humanitarian worker

This is a false equivalency. Their reach is manifestly larger and already oriented opposite to human values.

We'd also be better off if they just smoked the money but that might pose a health risk.

This is a product that helps people imo. Vapes were marketed to get adult smokers off cigarettes but what they do is get kids to vape because they're nice and don't taste of cigarettes. These things would actually help adult smokers and not 16 year olds. Also, as someone who has struggled with smoking, I find the tastiness of vape just makes you want to smoke more! Anyone who uses this will be smoking far less than vapers do. Huge win.
