Not really, about 60 years earlier maybe. By the 60s the data was in and link was known, except big tobacco had very strong lobbyists.
From the 50'S, when the science was known till now 60 years of rearguard action. When the Berlin wall fell the tobacco companies moved in to Easter Europe giving away free cigarettes.
