3. They already have.

Tobacco companies have been major funders of smoking-related studies for decades, the vast majority of which are tied to non-disclosure agreements. If they don't like the result, you'll never see them unless somebody decides to whistle-blow and risk losing their job.

It keeps them deep in studies to cite to defend their existence and allows them to stem the release of information which may harm them.
