I just used the same "logic" s/h/it used for the claim that using tobacco products makes one an addict.
The same people who redefined the word addiction to include tobacco use and more addictive than even heroin are the same people who determined homosexuality was not a mental disorder.
Drango is a very disturbed individual. Extremely mentally ill. Nicotine gum sold at WalMart for $59.76 could do him some good.
The campaign for tobacco free kids, the American Cancer Society, the American lung Association and the FDA for that matter are all heavily funded by contributions from big pharmaceutical companies.
The same pharmaceutical companies that make competing nicotine replacement products like Nicorette gum which just so happens to come in fruity and cherry flavors and mint that might appeal to kids like candy and gum. :-)
They stand to lose market share billions of dollars in sales if E cigarettes become more popular. This is their Waterloo.
You know they are desperate when they use children as human shields.
Well, nicotine IS addictive, as I understand it, and it IS hard as hell for some people to quit smoking.
