Fascinating. I do remember reading some research about smoking being protective against COVID, although that research may have been funded by the tobacco industry (https://www.nature.com/articles/s41533-021-00223-1).

I believe the Native Americans used tobacco medicinally but of course they did not add the chemicals that make commercial tobacco products addictive and harmful.
I am unsure if data exists on this but I don't believe it is tobacco causing cancer and COPD I believe it was all the carcinogens that was put into the cigarettes that caused these diseases. Just like the shots. People didn't just suddenly start having kids that were autistic. In the movie vaxxed they talk about one of the vaccines that was causing autism. One of the people looking into this said they studied the causal link between this vaccine and autism. The evidence was so overwhelming they destroyed the evidence instead of owning it.
I don't really know without further study, but I know that I've been lied to since the day I was born, shortly after JFK got the bullet to the brain, and so it is not a stretch to think other lies are blowing in the wind....but I've reached the moment lately, where I'm sick and tired of finding the lies, because one lie too many is one lie to much. I'm sick of lies and I'm not alone.
I didn't know the "tobacco industry" still had funds? Holy Moly - what a bunch of desperate lawyers if they did that. I actually think tobacco is protective and nicotine is quite the anti-oxidant you know.....or did you not know that?
I remember Wendell Berry wrote an essay about the meaningful role tobacco harvesting played in his community (https://www.neh.gov/humanities/2012/mayjune/feature/excerpts-the-writings-wendell-berry). As Kim mentioned, Native Americans and others have been known to use it medicinally; it is the addictive chemicals and additives that Big Tobacco adds that are the greatest threat to health (which in turn produces big profits for Big Medicine).
If you havenтАЩt yet watched тАЬThe InsiderтАЭ (I referenced it in my Profile in Courage on Tess Lawrie: https://margaretannaalice.substack.com/p/profiles-in-courage-dr-tess-lawrie?s=w), that covers the real-life whistleblower Jeff WigandтАЩs revelation that Big Tobacco intentionally funded fake studies, manipulated outcomes, and concealed the data incontrovertibly demonstrating the hazards caused by their products. It is the same story of fraud, corruption, propaganda, smearing, and obfuscation we are seeing today.

I believe you are correct!

Well, here is the first link I found on this, but I read it somewhere else from somebody whom I respect and so I take serious those for whom I have come to trust. So, this link might be a piece of shit, but who knows - there might be a kernel of truth there..... https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0024320502021355#:~:text=There%20is%20also%20evidence%20suggesting%20that%20nicotine%20may,radical%20scavenger%20in%20that%20it%20binds%20to%20iron.

Oh yes, it is a *highly* profitable, primarily due to expanding to markets in Asia and Africa along with the newly burgeoning e-cigarette industry:
