Even as late as mid-century (1950s and 60s?) the cigarette companies were defending cigarette smoking. They kept saying there was no proof of any harm.

Thank you, Villages PL, for providing the sources asked for by KeepingItReal and graciegirl—and which I would have asked for too if they hadn't. At least now I can read something about this and hopefully have the competence to understand what I'm reading! Hopefully this journal is available online.
