If I were addicted to nicotine I wouldn't be quite so smug about people eating junk food.

Nicotine is a lifesaver for people on the streets. The majority concern is over carcinogenic particulates that occur in certain delivery vehicles of nicotine (cigarettes). Getting cancer in the future is your least concern.

Mitigating the anxiety, fear, and lonliness by using nicotine? That's far far higher up. That's the bigger priority in the timeframe of "being fucking homeless".
