Addiction is simply the failure to make the right decisions....nothing more, nothing less.”

So...........whose fault is that, I wonder???

So...........who should pay the bill, I wonder???

No, but smokers are often viewed as subhumans lower than child mollestors. And I don't even smoke.

“Nobody calls nicotine addiction a disease.”

Folks not informed on addiction (a lot of the country) would fill that bill.
Or the possible outcome of long-term usage (emphysema, cancer, etc)

After hearing about how folks in prison will even trade their “good drugs”
for cigarettes...it’s an addiction all right.

And I got to watch my father shake cigarettes after 25 years of smoking.
He said, even years after quitting, that when someone else lights
up “it smells like candy to me”.

One of the primary motivations for a smoker to light up is to relieve a condition of dis-ease.
Unfortunately it is an ouroboros-like solution. problem->cure->problem
