I would think it likely that you are smoking because your addicted..
You poor guy. You really have absolutely no clue what is going on here do you? You seem to be (as well as other people here) under the impression that FDA Regulation of tobacco would be the end of cigarettes. Here's a hint and a link:

Why, praytell, do you suppose Philip Morris is in FAVOR of FDA regulation?
"PM USA strongly supports the passage of this legislation and remains committed in our support for comprehensive, meaningful and effective FDA regulation of tobacco products. We believe FDA regulation would play a significant role in reducing the harm caused by tobacco. This is a goal that we share with the public health community and society and believe is good for our company, our employees and the industry as a whole."
I'll give you until 2 PM EST to see if you can figure it out on your own, I'll be back later today to see if the little light bulb above your head turns on.
Good luck...(cue the Jeopardy music)
I'm really smoking to keep sanctimonious Black Birch types out of hectoring range.
