Does anyone remember all the bogus studies that showed smoking was healthy?

What methodology finally disproved that?

And how did we connect that, and rule out other things?

Wrong example. Here better example would be "does anyone remember how underfunded were those studies, that said smoking was not healthy?"

Fair enough, yeah from what I remember big tobacco was funding the former. They even had the surgeon general recommending smoking.
