Well, if the choice is between “[being] unable to proceed with common everyday activities due to weakness, memory lapses, pain, dyspnea and other unspecific physical complaints” and addicted to a substance that itself has mild side effects, I suspect many would choose the addiction.

Remember, nicotine!=tobacco

for some reason, people see addictive substances as extra bad if there are positive benefits to be had. nobody whinges as hard about a night out drinking though.
