Dr. King appears to be brain-washed beyond redemption insofar smoking is concerned. Millions of deaths per year, 2 in 3 smokers dying prematurely - she bought the anti-smoking fanatical propaganda hook line and sinker.

She quotes a survey where 90% of smokers said they wish they hadn't started - let's do a little exercise: let's replace smoking with drinking coffee, shall we ? let's scare the s**t out of people with how bad smoking supposedly is for you (2 out of 3 will die prematurely, that kind of stuff), let's raise the current price of coffee 10 times, let's ban drinking it practically everywhere except your home and in the middle of nowhere and then see if 90% wouldn't say the same: God, I wish I never touched the stuff.

So Dr. King doesn't want to engage with tobacco manufactures, she wants them 'to cease their primary business'. May I remind her to brush up on her history and see what happened in the 1920s in the USA when alcohol manufactures 'ceased their primary business'.

I find it quite baffling that investment managers who are supposed to be critical thinkers got taken by this fanatical propaganda masquerading in ethics.
