Anti-tobacco extremists believe the ends justify the means. They'll happily give people dangerous psychoactive drugs or get them hooked on nicotine replacement therapy if it means advancing their agenda.

I quit smoking a couple years back and I was baffled by the lack of quality information I could find online. It's 90% propaganda, thanks to the anti-smoking warriors. Most of it pushes these quit-smoking drugs or just different forms of nicotine intake (which is the very drug you're supposed to be trying to quit in the first place).

You'd think we would have collectively learned something from the abysmal failure of things like the DARE program and abstinence-only education. Facts work better than scare tactics and propaganda.
