Pam-
I use myself as an example because absolute statements like a lot of folk like to make end up in laws. Which makes them bad laws. Because when it comes to biology, there are no absolutes.
And I definitely understand addiction. I've worked for 3 decades to try to help my wife quit. I recognize the pain and suffering she goes through. I watched my father in law die slowly and painfully from his lifelong cigarette addiction.
It's politicians who don't understand addiction who can make specious claims like "Well, they can just quit if they don't want to pay the tax ".
Sounds like your thinking is turning around on this one.
