Comparisons with the medical profession are not apt.

If you check back to your previous response you brought cigarettes and by implication the medical profession (
and the legal profession for tha matter) into the discussion. So, if it isn't apt now then it wasn't when you brought it forth earlier.

contrary to those of the Surgeon-General

All the Surgeon-General warnings on my Marlboros claim adverse health effects, but nothing regarding addiction. I may agree with you regarding the addictive nature of nicotene. But this in no way removes the credibility of industry publications like those of
The PennWell Petroleum Group.
Seems to me the most telling part of your last post is your anxiety regarding "big tobacco", big oil, big anything that you aren't part of. I suspect you also have issues with Detroit auto makers, Microsoft, the defence industry, the media, the State of Isreal, the Catholic Church and any other organization or business entity which isn't government controlled.
I don't wish to put words in your mouth or misjudge you and you are more than welcome to rebut any and all of the above if you so wish. But please, when you do rebut give an alternative that is viable, and won't place us back into the stoneage.
Also try to remember remember you cannot put the jeenie back into the box.
