Back in the day of unfiltered cigarettes, most people had the basic intellectual capacity to figure coughing brown-black mucus after smoking, and coughing more and more, with more and more blood, over the years, means smoking is bad for you.
Only delusional retards would tell themselves ''ça fait sortir le méchant'' ( ''nu-uh, my smoke sticks actually make the bad stuff come out!'' ).
Non-smokers don't cough the black goo, obviously.
This made filtered cigarettes universal to assuage people's rational fear that smoking would make them sick and die from inhaling smoke. ( Of course it didn't eliminate tobaco-caused diseased, only delayed onset. )
This and ''light'' labels on packages to make people think this box wouldn't make them sick.
People knew. And advertisement campaings were started to make people believe lies, but the truth was always out there and common knowledge.
The thing is, you don't need to work very hard to convince people to keep doing something that feels good. And nicotine causes a dopamine release ( it feels good ). So people who don't want to stop will cling to whatever delusion to rationalize why it's okay. I hate people who do that.
Just own your bad habit instead of trying to make me believe bullshit.
Like fat people. You're fat because you eat too much for your energy needs. STFU with your hormones, metabolism and glands. Own your overeating problem.
Right it's not like top athletes smoked like chimneys. It was a vice that a lot of people had -- people who were still used to dying in ways that were fairly mysterious to them. Smoking was a competing danger of killing a person. Depending on how far back you go, there was a lot of competition.

This is why you see all sorts of pro baseball players smoking in the dugout until about 1970.
Lol I said athletes.
