Any smokers on here on 21:55 - Feb 9 by Swansea_Blue | Remember that. Crazy to think that it was another 15/16 years before sports like F1 ruled out tobacco company sponsorship. We’d long known the risks by then. But then we’re all fine with alcohol still, so somewhat hypocritical. |
It is amazing what can be ignored when profits are at risk. Asbestos is a good example. The risks of it were first recognised in 1898, asbestosis was recognised as a disease caused by asbestos exposure in the 1920s, but despite the evidence of the suffering and misery it caused mounting year on year, it was 1985 its import and use was banned, and then not all types. |  |
