Anti-smoking company idea

A company opens huge shorts on cigarette stocks and runs a massive smear campaign against smoking. Enough to convince the public to stop smoking.
Both providing a good service and profitable.

Go for it

>massive smear campaign against smoking
pretty much already priced in nowadays

Dumdum thats what is always going on. Check cyanide medication scandal. "Someone" put cyanide pills in meds bottle and the companys stocks plummeted rockhard. Couple of people died. Hmm makes me wonder if someone shorted during that time.

How do you convince the public?

like that guy who bombed the german football team after shorting their stocks

babbys first hegelian dialectic

Anti smoking campaigns drive up taxes and regulatory barriers which widen the moats of the existing big tobacco companies. Big tobacco is in favor of these things and in some cases pay for anti-smoking ads themselves. Smoking appeals to people who think the people in anti-smoking ads are faggots in the same way that smoking weed appeals to people who think public service announcements are cringe af.

Hey man you can't do that, you're a gentile

>convince the public to stop smoking
Quite literally never going to happen.
What's going to convince people to stop? Are you gonna tell people that smoking causes cancer? Everyone already fucking knows that, and they smoke anyways. No one that currently smokes is going to quit because of some stupid "smear campaign" that you run

Tell everyone smoking turns the frogs gay.

Why would they care? Smoking a cigarette is already facsimile to sucking a cock and everyone knows it.

>dude remember the 1990's lmao

you’re like 20 years too late

>Tell everyone (honestly) that smoking makes your dick smaller and causes impotenece
>Suddenly everyone who smokes is extremely self-conscious of it
>If this becomes conventional wisdom, smoking will not be cool to the "rebellious" crowd because nothing that outs you as a dicklet can ever be cool
>Profit off the shorts, hopefully it's enough to cover the cost of your smear campaign

That's actually pretty genius.

The government's anti-smoking campaigns can end smoking with one PSA that tells people about this in a catchy way. I am convinced that they do not because the tax revenue from cigarette sales is too great an incentive for them to actually try to stop smoking.

more like 30/40.
