Not connected to what??? The proof that smoking makes people sick
has been incontrovertible for decades. Tobacco companies
knew it (and know it) as well as knowing how addictive
nicotine is. They simply lied to people about
it, in the past, to keep profits intact.

I'm suggesting that they should stop smoking altogether anyway since
smoking is something they can control a lot more readily than
overall air quality.

It's not caused by viruses or bacteria.

People are born with genes that make them prone to developing
asthma.
