We’re talking about a major drug here. Something the world has been searching for, for years.
My suggestion is for the giant tobacco companies to fund the testing and development so we can all smoke again. To recoup costs, all they need to do is add a single dollar to each pack (or carton) and within a few years, they are in profit for all directions of business.
