Addictions are not "healthy," hence the quotes. however, if there is a product that does not cause cancer, COPD, mouth rot, birth defects, etc, then I am for it being made available, even if it perpetuates addition of new addictions. The effects of all the other things in tobacco products is such a huge public health concern that will never be fully addressed by stop smoking campaigns that I can abide some nictoine addiction if there is reduced "side effects."
