RE: People first knew tobacco was bad for gealth at the time of Shakespeare.

So, knowing this, why did the doctors endorse cigarettes in the 1940’s and 1950’s?

Ah yes, you're speaking of James I's essay A Counterblaste To Tobacco. He was also kind of irritated that places where it was smoked were hotbeds of revolutionary conversation. Since they ended up decapitating his son he might have had a point.
