This is to be expected.
The profit model for tobacco companies is a tried and true one.
Hook kids and teenagers by making smoking look cool, really set the hook by making sure that entry-level products contain addiction-reinforcing levels of nicotine.
The fact that they were stopped for any length of time is great, but corporate entities are by their nature a-moral and profit-focused.
Tobacco makes THE MOST money when kids start smoking and don't stop until dead.
