My daughter dosn't smoke is in perfect health trim and strong as an ox and she's really really smart. Like I said earlier it gets down to the money and virtually everyones slavery to its power. There's also the element of logic that dosn't get the play it should. Look at the drug profits and tell me there isn't sound reason to believe that money trumps health and quality and ethics.
for instance Twila,the article below is about the financial sector, the play is the same in every sector, corruption as far as the eyes can see, we're surrounded by it.

Central Banks Are Trojan Horses, Looting Their Host Nations
                
   A Nobel prize winning economist, former chief economist and senior  vice president of the World Bank, and chairman of the President’s  council of economic advisers (Joseph Stiglitz) says that the  International Monetary Fund and World Bank loan money to third world  countries as a way to force them to open up their markets and resources  for looting by the West.
 Do central banks do something similar?
 Economics professor Richard Werner – who created the concept of  quantitative easing – has documented that central banks intentionally  impoverish their host countries to justify economic and legal changes  which allow looting by foreign interests.
The Wonderland Matrix: Realm of the Charlatan Experts

 By now; regular readers are aware of a startling admission from the mainstream media. It came in the form of a 
video presentation from The Economist, titled 
The World in 2016.
   
A twenty year academic study found that when it comes to predictions, so-called experts are as accurate as dart-throwing chimps.
   Here it is important to note that forecasting (in one form or  another) represents most of what these “experts” do, in terms of their  interaction with the general public. Typically, the mainstream media  trots out one of these charlatans after some major event, or important  statistical release, and asks “how will this affect us?” In other words,  what comes next?
 Now we know that, for at least the last twenty years, every time one  of these charlatans opens his/her mouth to tell us what comes next, all  that comes out is gibberish. We would literally get just as good an  answer from a chimp.
 This brings us to our second major point of analysis. It is these  same charlatan experts whom the mainstream media showcases, in order to  validate the “news” they feed to us. No matter how absurd or improbable  are the events being related, there is always one or more charlatan  experts standing ready to rubber-stamp the mainstream media’s  propaganda. Now we know that this rubber-stamp of approval from these  charlatan experts is worth no more than 
a U.S. dollar.
 The propaganda of the mainstream media now stands bare. Their  precious “experts” who legitimize all of this propaganda have been  exposed as nothing more than vacuous wind-bags. The “news” fed to us by  the Corporate media must now be validated by some other means, or it  loses any legitimacy. It becomes nothing but unsubstantiated words.
 The most obvious manner in which the mainstream media could legitimize its “news” would be to begin to provide 
real,  detailed explanations of events and statistics. That’s called  journalism. But that’s not what we get. What we get are two-minute  sound-bites (or less). A mainstream talking-head provides the barest  summary of the facts, 
states a conclusion, and then has some charlatan expert standing at his side to rubber-stamp that conclusion.
 We now know that rubber-stamp is totally worthless. Thus what we are really getting in our “news” is some media mouthpiece
