>factually incorrect Einstein smoked, so I would agree with this. ;p

  Not that I agree with OP but... I don't think Einstein lived in a time where the harms of smoking were so well documented.

    but it was still inhaling smoke which we are clearly not meant to do. That was OP's point. It wasn't that we shouldn't smoke because of the things we've learned since.

    My mother was a cardiovascular pharmacologist and worked with many people who knew at the time that smoking was bad for your health (70s, 80s, 90s). She smoked for decades, but she observed that the doctors and phds she worked with that specialized in the heart and lungs were more likely to be smokers. She quit many years ago and is still around, thankfully.

  Einstein is a strong counterexample, but to account for changing times, there are some notable non-idiots more recently: https://josephcrusejohnson.blogspot.com/2017/10/morris-chang.html https://josephcrusejohnson.blogspot.com/2017/10/morris-chang...
