This is little different than what has happened with cigarette tobacco. Before WWII, cancer from cigarette smoking was not viewed as a significant problem. Mostly, that's because it wasn't.
Then, the U.S. started testing nuclear weapons in the West. As a logically predictable consequence, lung cancers from breathed-in fallout dust would be increasing, and the government would be tagged as the logical cause.
That is, until a diversionary "logical cause" was manufactured.

Lung cancer from Cigar and Pipe smoking is extremely marginal, and could also be attributed to other behaviors.
But pack-cigarette tobacco? It is produced for one primary purpose, and that is to divert the blame for most lung cancers from the government.
