> Wigand turned his attention to improving tobacco additives, some of which were designed for "impact boosting", using chemicals like ammonia to enhance absorption of nicotine in the lungs and affect the brain and central nervous system faster. Wigand believed this process was a deliberate attempt to increase addiction to cigarettes.

I'm sorry but I find this answer completely ridiculous. People do stuff for reasons, selfish reasons, but "hehe I'm evil just because" is absurd.

Some people truly just like to see others suffering because of them.

You’re attacking a strawman. Where did i say they’re evil “just because”? And does a reason make it better in your head?
