Does anyone remember all the bogus studies that showed smoking was healthy?

[-] Reddfugee42@lemmy.world 11 points 3 months ago

What methodology finally disproved that?

And how did we connect that, and rule out other things?

[-] uis@lemm.ee 5 points 3 months ago

Wrong example. Here better example would be "does anyone remember how underfunded were those studies, that said smoking was not healthy?"

Fair enough, yeah from what I remember big tobacco was funding the former. They even had the surgeon general recommending smoking.
