Cocaine, heroine, and nicotine are all addictive. The difference is that you cannot physically stop doing any of these drugs without some sort of harm to your body. I know that quitting cigarettes was very painful. These drugs change the DNA and general chemistry of your body, which is why they have a physical addiction.

But cigarettes are still legal. I'm certainly not talking about giving drugs to small children, I'm talking about allowing adults to make their own decisions, even if they are stupid.

I agree, and I already stated that I am 100% anti-prohibition. I feel that keeping the problems under the rug is only making it worse. The only way to make "stupid" people stop doing drugs is to "unstupify" them, thus they will be edumacated better about their decisions.
