(10) If plain tobacco has been studied, the results are probably buried at Fort Knox, under armed guard. Imagine if the results showed minimal, acceptable risks or harms from use of plain tobacco. That would open floodgates of liability suits against makers of typical Pesticide Pegs, the suppliers of all their untested, toxic, carcinogenic, and otherwise harmful ingredients, their insurers and investors, and the AWOL public officials that enabled the whole atrocity for many decades. Those officials' current hypocritical pretense of being "concerned anti-smokers" does not make up for that. They should not be allowed to cover it up either. What industries' money is in their pockets?
Various industries have historically blamed nature, and "acts of God" for harms they've caused. Black lung disease, for instance, was blamed by Company Doctors on a miner's "smoking" or "a bad cold." This "smoking" thing easily represents the most extensive use of that trick.
Forget, for now, the threat of yet another socially-fracturing, distracting, scientifically-bogus, costly Prohibition of yet another smokable, natural, un-patentable, even medicinal plant. The big problem concerns the apparent de-evolution of so many of our medical professionals, such as the Surgeon General, into Company Doctors working less for patients and more for the chemical firms, pharms that make pesticides and cigarette additives, the chlorine industries, and all their insurers and investors.
