Thank the flying spaghetti monster for that!
I always wonder what happened to begin the public demonization of smoking. You would think the captains of industry and real rulers of the world would promote smoking especially the ones who control the mainstream media and therefor public opinion.
Somebody in the cigarette industry must have really pissed off some powerful people. Perhaps smoking was putting to much upward pressure on wages or something? I have always wondered about this.
So what happened? how come the people who control public opinion turned on the cigarette companies?
