![<p>The last 75 years haven’t been kind to the tobacco industry. In 1940, <a href="http://www.gallup.com/poll/109048/us-smoking-rate-still-coming-down.aspx">nearly half the nation</a> were smokers. Then came <a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/onthisday/hi/dates/stories/june/27/newsid_2956000/2956618.stm">a barrage</a> of health studies that linked smoking to <a href="https://conditions.healthgrove.com/l/632/Lung-Cancer">lung cancer</a>. By the time the Surgeon General released the 1964 <a href="https://profiles.nlm.nih.gov/ps/retrieve/Narrative/NN/p-nid/60">Report on Smoking and Health</a>, cigarette companies were reeling.</p><p>Smoking rates held for another decade, but <a href="http://stop-smoking.healthgrove.com/">anti-smoking</a> advertising and legislation began to chip away at the industry. In 1965, Congress required warning labels on all cigarette packages. In 1970, TV and radio cigarette ads were banned. By the 1980s, less than one in three Americans were still smoking. By the 1990s, it was one in four.</p><p>Along the way, the cost of a pack of cigarettes rose sharply, outpacing inflation. The team at <a href="http://www.mooseroots.com/">MooseRoots</a>, a <a href="https://www.graphiq.com/">Graphiq</a> site, set out to track the changing price of cigarettes since 1940. To do so, they used a 2014 cigarette cost estimate from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, then extrapolated 75 years of cigarette prices using the "Tobacco and Related Products" bucket from the Bureau of Labor Statistics' <a href="http://cpi.mooseroots.com/">consumer price index</a>.</p><p>New federal and state tobacco taxes — which are factored into these price estimates — can help explain the dramatic rise of cigarette prices. <a href="http://www.treatobacco.net/en/page_120.php">Studies show</a> a 10 percent increase in cigarette prices tends to reduce cigarette consumption by 3 to 5 percent. Naturally, the government has only been too happy to raise more money in the name of public health, multiple times.</p><p>Still, cigarette prices have risen <a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK236771/">even faster</a> than cigarette taxes, particularly since 1990. Here, it’s likely that big cigarette makers have relied on the most loyal smokers to make up for a decrease in total customers. In order to drive growth, Big Tobacco needs the remaining smokers to <a href="http://www.journalnow.com/news/local/another-round-of-cigarette-price-increases-set-to-begin/article_512bbd46-fa6c-11e4-b172-3ba439174a7c.html">pay even more</a>.</p><p>Let's break down the cost of a pack of smokes for each year since 1940. Along with price, the list will also feature an iconic or memorable smoking-related photograph from that same year in history.</p>]({"default":"//img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/BBtugAo.img?h=336&w=624&m=6&q=60&u=t&o=t&l=f&x=512&y=385","size2column":"//img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/BBtugAo.img?h=336&w=300&m=6&q=60&u=t&o=t&l=f&x=512&y=385"} "The last 75 years haven’t been kind to the tobacco industry.

![This article originally published March 4, 2016. Being talented with numbers can really pay off if you’re looking to start a profitable business.Accounting and tax services takes the top spot on the list of the most profitable type of small business with a generous 18.4 percent net profit margin followed by real-estate services (15.2 percent), law firms (14.5 percent) and doctor’s offices (13 percent) reports Sageworks, a financial data service that analyzed the net profit margin of more than 16,000 small businesses (that earned less than $10 million) between September 2014 and August 2015.(The average net profit across all industries for this report's time period was 7.2 percent.)What makes these industries profitable? For one, they’re driven by human capital.“Service industries,” says Sageworks analyst Jenna Weaver, “are very common to find on the most profitable small-business list. This is generally due to lower overhead and startup costs. A lot of these industries you can start from your house.”While profit isn’t the only matter for an entrepreneur to consider -- other factors to consider are whether the business matches his or her skills, what sort of licensing or training is required and how the business would fare during a recession -- it’s an important place to start.Here’s the list of the 15 most profitable types of small businesses and their net profit margins.Related: The 10 Best Jobs in America for 2016]({"default":"//img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/BBvtlej.img?h=64&w=85&m=6&q=60&u=t&o=t&l=f&f=jpg&x=535&y=341"} "This article originally published March 4, 2016.

![Last but not least, as much as it sounds like science fiction (or a campy spy movie), a pill that erases near-term memories may be within reach in the foreseeable future. It wasn’t what Cornelius Gross of the European Molecular Biology Laboratory was looking for when he had the “aha” moment. But, he found that in his mice test subjects, weakening a synapse linked to a specific memory makes it difficult to recall that memory. The drug in question could theoretically do the same for humans who’d like to forget their most painful, debilitating memories. Though such a therapy is years down the road, at least we know how it could be done — dentate gyrus granule cells (the “learning” cells of hippocampal pathways) need to blocked and then reprogrammed, so to speak. 7 Stocks to Buy in the Healthcare Sweet Spot This type of treatment would be particularly useful for soldiers with PTSD or witnesses to violent crimes.
