Beginning 1800s scientists were just starting to figure out chemicals in tobacco were harmful.
During the 1950, reasearch was finally being published linking tobacco to lung cancer.
1964 Surgeon General's Report finally comes out.

I hope that by reading this people will acknowledge that we need to think for ourselves more often and do our own research before diving into a new piece of the world. If we wait for the government to tell us its bad in anyway ......it will already to late for millions of people.
Research is power.... Much love to all my Steemit members who research daily.
Thank for reading and becoming more aware. Please follow me for future post and have a wonderful day.
