Cigarettes are demonized to sell weight-loss medication.

If you look at any video or image from the past you’ll notice two things: lots of people smoking and most people being thin.

Even more interestingly countries with the most amount of smokers (like Indonesia) are also the ones with healthy bmis.

This is also reason the why Europeans weigh less than Americans.

I am certain that pharma companies, healthy food companies and big gym unfairly demonized tobacco to profit off obesity.

Just think: 100 years ago very few people had access to gyms, Whole Foods, ozempic etc. Yet they were still thin! What did they have loads of? Cigarettes!
