> I don't think there are any smokers out there anymore who don't know it's bad for you

I suspect this is not necessarily the case in countries with less public health education, especially developing or poor countries which is where Tobacco has shifted its efforts to grow or maintain revenue.

nah... as a smoker, i can tell you it's damned clear that it's bad for you when you wake up in the morning. there's no internal dialogue telling you "maybe this isn't bad for me".

there's an external dialogue though, for sure... "it's more/less bad than you think"

For sure. But this article isn't about that.

That is exactly what this article is about. It talks specifically about fighting smoking regulations in Moldova, for example.

Isn't it? The US Chamber of Commerce apparently supports those actions.
