I had a thought last night.
Why is it that when nicotine is delivered via a patch it's 'medicine' but when delivered by a cigarette it's 'drugs'?

Those patches are more expensive than even a pack of cigarettes. That's why they're called drugs. ;-D

Because the money goes to a drug company instead of a tobacco (drug dealing) company! There, did that clear that up? ;-)
