Again, I’m just guessing wildly, but anything which scares people away from smoking is good in my opinion.

That’s where I disagree, spreading misinformation as scientific fact causes people to lose trust in health authorities, and it fuels things like the anti-vax movement and flat earthers. The ends don’t justify the means.

Yeah, that’s a good point.
