If I may correct the noble Lord, I said that one of the tobacco industry’s great lies, after it had lost the argument that tobacco smoking is dangerous and kills you, was its attempt to argue that nicotine was not addictive. A great film was made about RJ Reynolds called "The Insider", in which a scientist at RJ Reynolds had convincing proof that the company knew that nicotine was addictive but covered up the facts. It is the addictive nature of nicotine that matters.
