Doesn't "
the view is not popular" mean that the "
expert's view is open to disagreement"? I'm sure that for an 'expert' that has one opinion there is another that has the opposite or differing view.
If what is now known about Tobacco was know before, then it would have been classed as an illegal drug. It is only because Tobacco is so widespread in usage that it isn't.
