That being the case doesn't negate the fact that cigarette users are not turned into some version of the walking dead but who'd do literally anything for a fix.

Tobacco has a lot to answer for but it isn't the same kind of issue at all. It doesn't destroy communities so directly.

I've seen plenty of people do nothing but drink alcohol, smoke tobacco, and complain, all day, every day, year after year.

You might argue that it's the alcohol doing the zombification but I posit that surely the tobacco also has something to do in this equation.
