So do you believe that I was a repeat offender when I was addicted to nicotine for 20 yrs? Wouldn't you call that "negligent behavior"?
What about parents who smoke cigarettes in their car while their children are in the back seat. Isn't that being "a danger to other people"? What about smoking around an asthmatic (especially children w/ asthma), for example?
Nicotine doesn't cause one lose control of one's sense and doesn't endanger other people.
