Episode 40: The Tobacco Industry’s Cover-Up — How Smoking Risks Were Hidden for Decades
In this episode of The Conspiracy Theory Analyst, Robin Verrue examines the very real conspiracy of the tobacco industry’s deception. For decades, cigarette companies knew smoking caused cancer and disease — but they lied, manipulated science, and misled the public.
In this episode:
How tobacco companies hid the dangers of smoking
The role of marketing in creating doubt
Whistleblowers and the release of secret documents
Evidence for and against the cover-up
The cultural impact on trust and public health
A true story of profit over truth — and a conspiracy that really happened.
