That’s an interesting point — the good folks over in the tobacco marketing department could be taking note of these studies too. But I don’t think banning tobacco is going to help anyone (after all, it’s already illegal for teens to smoke tobacco, and let’s not even get into marijuana). And defunding research definitely wouldn’t be doing these kids any favors.

That’s the industry for you, now knowing these tendencies I bet the approach of the industry will focus on how to take advantage of those tendencies. Start a campaign to ban tobacco and use the reasearch money to do so.
