The only thing I'll insert into this guiness pub chat is that there is a fundamental real difference between chemical addiction and psychological addiction so its a canard to assert equivalency.

Other than that, I'm ambivalent though
1) I'd like not to have to stand anywhere near a cigarette. At least cigars and pipes don't have a toxic trash smell if they're using untainted tobacco. I don't like closed spaces where those fires happen either though.
2) Nicotine is a nasty little addictive agent that people find initially calming (and later can't be entirely calm without it) ... but its the toxic trash of a cigarette that moves it from a bit of entertainment to killing tool.
3) You'd think a reformulated trash-free cigarette would be a boon to tobacco companies (even with nicotine).....
4) They used to have smoking parlors...... like bars but with smokes.... you'd think those would make a comeback.
