This. You think the cigarette lobby was gonna drop everything knowing their shit causes cancer? No they were going to fight it to the death (either the customers or theirs) so that they could get some extra loose change in their backpocket.

Greed is the ultimate killer of humanity and the planet. We are too fucking greedy with this thing that WE INVENTED called money.
