The antismoking crusade has mangled the edicts of scientific enquiry and coherent statistical and causal inference beyond recognition. It has manipulated the psychology, sociology, morality, and politics of nations around the world. As a scientific undertaking, antismoking is a fake. As a scholarly undertaking, antismoking is a fake. As health promotion, it is a fake, being a comprehensive attack on, at least, psychological, social, moral, and political health. As a moral crusade, it is a fake, relying almost exclusively on chicanery, dishonesty, impropriety, self-interest, haughtiness and greed. Inflammatory antismoking propaganda has produced enmity and social division between family members, between spouses, between parents and children, between colleagues, and between strangers. Remember that antismoking billed itself as the ‘good’ in the mythological battle between good and evil - another lie. The antismoker cult assumed the moral high ground which it neither has nor merits. Yet, in three-decades, it has never been called in official circles on this entirely questionable assumption.
