They aren’t smoking addiction, they are smoking cigarettes. They can make that choice!
Good time to repeat the likely false but illustrative story that troops can be punished for damaging government property if they get a sunburn.
One former airman reportedly said that after he awoke from a nap on the beach with a terrible sunburn, a technical sergeant threatened to give him an Article 15 for damaging government property. Let’s not forget that the term “GI” means “Government Issue”.
The story has no merit, but seriously, the military doesn’t need addicts in its ranks and they have ever right to control addiction.
