00:00If you can instill some doubt in the mind of the compulsive cigarette smoker
00:07regarding whether or not cigarettes are harmful,
00:11you have given him a lease of fresh hope.
00:14He will say, you know, it is not yet quite proven that cigarettes are harmful.
00:19So I feel licensed and entitled to continue with my cigarettes
00:24till a final proof is established.
00:28Today you see on cigarette packs, not only is there a warning,
00:32but there is a gruesome warning.
00:34It was unimaginable that the tobacco industry would agree to it
00:38four decades back.
00:40Today they have had to agree
00:42because now there is popular scientific consensus.
00:45But they agreed only after claiming millions of lives
00:50by spreading misinformation.
00:53Same with climate change.
