## Resource

This week we ask ChatGPT to put its tinfoil hat on and start asking questions. Why did the government turn against tobacco after centuries of widespread acceptance? The tangled web of politics, profit, and public health narratives in real-time. Could it be a battle between Big Tobacco and the pharmaceutical industry? A shift in addiction economics? Or a calculated move to keep the population stressed and dependent? Together, we’ll unpack state-funded propaganda, selective morality, and the bigger agenda behind demonizing tobacco while other industries thrive unchecked.
