Does anyone remember all the bogus studies that showed smoking was healthy?

Wrong example. Here better example would be "does anyone remember how underfunded were those studies, that said smoking was not healthy?"

Fair enough, yeah from what I remember big tobacco was funding the former. They even had the surgeon general recommending smoking.
