After the collapse of the tobacco industry, casinos found themselves under scrutiny for engineering addiction. This is the story of how casinos learned to mislead the public using industry funded research on gambling addiction. The problem of industry funded research isn't unique to casinos however, it's widespread and devastating to serious academic inquiry.

For example, there are different types of conflicts of interest that differ in severity. At worst, you have tobacco researching lung cancer, but a less severe example might be someone has a consulting job for Coca-Cola while separately researching obesity's link to sugar. These are not the same level of problematic and should be treated differently. I'm for prohibition in cases like "big tobacco researching lung cancer" mostly because we've tried the whole mitigate-research-influence and it doesn't seem to work. Here's a study demonstrating that industry funded research directly affects the results: ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26949873 "Studies funded by organizations that are involved in exposing the environment to pollutants or their workers to hazardous materials are substantially less likely to observe an association that these exposures have or increase the risk for negative health consequences"
