So the big question is.. what are the cigarettes of today? What are doctors endorsing today that will be revealed to be harmful for our health in the future?

Going back to the 1920s, there was also the Torches of Freedom public relations campaign developed by Edward Bernays (nephew of Sigmund Freud) and A.A. Brill.

Always remember that doctors don't know everything.

Smoking - It was a different time. Smoking was ubiquitous. When I went to college in 1970. It was up to the teacher, but it was common to walk into class and see ashtrays sitting on the desk or tables. That's right, we could smoke in class. I'm glad to see that is not popular anymore; in the US. There's still a lot of smoking in Germany and Belgium.

Have been a drug rep for 15 years and can say that you are 100% correct.
The MD profession is no different that mechanic, plumber, insurance agent. Some are really good and talented, care about what they do and want to stay ahead of the curve as far as new therapies, medicines, etc. Others just want to get you in and out of their office as fast as they can so they can bill for a visit, put no thought into why they are giving you a certain medicine and many times are extremely burned out with being an MD.
If you ever have a serious diagnosis, always get a 2nd opinion.

I think some laws have changed since then.

A doctor gave my now deceased grandmother her first cigarette in the late 1940's.

Psychoactive drugs for depression and anxiety will be the cigarettes of the next generation.

Doctors can be greedy and lazy just like anyone else...this shouldn't be surprising
