I'm anti-tobacco. Even with the promise of a 50% stock price increase I would not buy any tobacco cie stocks. 

While I want to secure my retirement I also want to be able to sleep well at night. There are plenty of other stocks in other sectors to choose from... 

Bringing the prevalence of tobacco use to below 5% in Canada would save our country billions of $ in health care costs in the long run... (and yes that would offset the loss of revenues from tobacco taxes).
