For the initial post, research the history of the association of doctors with tobacco
companies and tobacco advertising. Read about the association of doctors with the
opioid crisis. Then, address the following:
• In what way are the two situations comparable?
• In what way are they different?
• Apply the concept of moral equivalence. Is the conduct of doctors in relation to
smoking and the tobacco industry morally equivalent to the conduct of doctors
in the opioid crisis? Explain your position and be very specific.
