According to the WHO smoking kills over 5 million people in the world every year. So the tobacco industry has to find this number of new victims to replace the ones they have killed. They have used F1 as a mechanism to help them with this recruitment. They were not spending many tens of millions on F1 out of altruism.
That Ferrari are circumventing the spirit of the rules is disgusting. It is morally repugnant. What they are doing will lead to a huge number of deaths around the world. The FIA should stop it.
