How Americans Became Addicted to Cigarettes

Good story on how Americans became addicted to cigarettes.  Now decades later, how are our youth still becomming addicted knowing everything we know about the damage it does to our bodies and others that we love ? Thinking about the billion dollar industy we spend on healthy living, health foods, healthy spas, gyms and supplements, I find it very hard to know that althougth we have many advertisments and have educated our young, they still choose to take up this ill serving habit - this is from someone who smoked for 33 year !  I would appreciate and like to hear your comments and thoughts on this subject.
