Woody Harrelson is trending because people think he's the racist guy in a video. I was his waiter once and he stayed late and felt bad so he invited me, his waiter, to join his group, let me smoke a full joint, and then went into the racist history of Robert Moses. It's not him.

Cigarette companies used to to say shit like "9 out of 10 doctors smoke our brand" and if you just googled "1950s cigarette advertisements" you'd find a lot of decent examples.

https://www.cdc.gov/tobacco/data_statistics/sgr/history/index.htm … This is what I found. If you're talking pre 1964, you might have something.

Pre-1964 applies as well as after. Tobacco companies lost enormous lawsuits in the 90’s because it was proven that they knew their product caused cancer and lied about it, paying doctors and scientists to obfuscate the link, until courts forced them to admit.

Germ theory was a crazy idea once, too. No one understood how handwashing could improve health outcomes. Many women died postpartum with uterine infections in hospitals because doctors didn’t clean properly between patients.
