"Although this prompted the insurance industry out of business by the tobacco and other doctors, insurance continue to put their profits above people's health," said Boyd, a member of the teaching staff at Harvard Medical School.
"It was clear, their main priority is to make money, not keep people's health," he wrote.
Tobacco is considered as the main cause of lung cancer and main risk factors for heart attack, stroke, lung disease, and cancer. According to the World Health Organization, tobacco is one of the factors it in 5.4 million deaths per year.
Researchers, the first states, life insurance companies and health care have a large investment in the company's cigarettes in 1995 in any posts in a British medical journal, Lancet. "Although investing in a cigarette company, while selling life insurance or health may appear defeated itself, but insurance companies have been considering the ways to take advantage of them," Boyd wrote.
"Insurance does not include protection for smokers or, more general, they are charged higher premiums. Insurance hit-and loss-smoker two more times."
Based on the study, the U.S. insurance company Prudential Financial Inc. has 264.3 million U.S. dollars in investment between the three U.S. cigarette companies, including Reynolds America and Philip Morris.
Canadian insurance company, Sun Life Financial Inc., which sells life insurance policies, disability insurance (disability) and health insurance have a stock portfolio with a value of more than one billion U.S. dollars in the two cigarette companies, including 890 million U.S. dollars in Philip Morris.
Prudential Plc, which sells health insurance policy and disability insurance, has a 1.38 billion U.S. dollars in the two cigarette companies, including British American Tobacco (BAT).
Study also breaks down the large investment in the company's cigarettes to U.S. insurance company, Northwestern Mutual, and Massachusetts Mutual Life, and Scottish companies, Standard Life Plc.

Is Myotherapy Another Series of Acupressure?
What is Myotherapy?
Myotherapy is a 'trigger point' therapy. It involves pressing on small, constricted, sore points that trigger pain in areas away from the points. For example, a tense, painful know of muscles in the neck might cause pain in the head. In this case, myotherapy would involve pressing on the knotted neck muscles to decrease pain in the head.
Myotherapy was developed by prominent physical therapist Bonnie Prudden in 1976. It is very similar to acupressure. The main difference between acupressure and myotherapy is that myotherapy is based upon manipulation of muscle and acupressure is based upon nerves and energy meridians.
How are Trigger Points Defused?
To defuse "trigger points," pressure is applied to the muscle for several seconds by means of fingers, knuckles and elbows. The success of this method depends on the use of specific corrective exercise for the freed muscles.
How are Trigger Points created?
It is believed that Trigger Points are created by injuries, muscle strain and emotional stress. Sometimes trigger points can lie dormant and don't cause pain until they are activated by physical or emotional stress.
Will the Trigger Points go away?
Yes. Through many sessions of myotherapy, trigger points can be eliminated. It is important to take preventative measures like muscle stretching and decreasing stress to keep trigger points from returning.
