Not sure why the frown, but my point is that if we can't judge a scientific submission without knowing the funding, then we have a problem with our scientific review process. There are pluses and minuses to funding disclosure. I'm NOT defending the work.

The problem with the paper is that they now obviously had a predisposed position to find cigarettes favorable by any means. Research isn't about prove a point its about NOT being able to disprove it.
