    The not-so-good @dockaurG seems not to realize that the docs in these tobacco ads were paid shills and that the real medical consensus before it was proven that cigarettes cause lung cancer was that tobacco was at least not good for you and likely was bad for your health.🙄https://twitter.com/NiceGoingAdam/status/1291987282333855744 …

        Stanford's great SRITA website has a whole section on "doctors", "nurses" and "dentists" http://tobacco.stanford.edu/tobacco_main/subtheme.php?token=fm_mt001.php …

        I mean, it’s just bullshit. It’s amazing how effective ads are at lodging total BS in people’s brains, and *decades later* they still believe it. Like “we only use 10% our brains” - made up! It was from an advertisement that fabricated the factoid.

        She's quite famous for her divisiveness. It'll be an honour to be blocked by her and join the rest of us.

        Seems like she didn't make the comparison to smoking, but point taken. Do you have further reading on docs/scientists and smoking early on?
