Seriously, all large company's portfolios consist of stakes in what some consider "bad" companies and industries. Like it or now, that's just business.

What people will sell their soul for. Does he really need that money, or is his focus on preventing cancer less than the wants of his pocket book? (Oh wait, I've got it! He wants people to get cancer, then become cancer

If he wants to be associated with a cigarette advertiser he just lessened his impact in crusading against cancer.
