I was also frankly amazed when you insisted that if cigarette companies were secretly and illegally paying a biotech company to grow tobacco that is stronger than the law allows, they were doing it so that people would be able to smoke LESS [sic] cigarettes!!

There is nothing "illogical" (your word) about this statement. It has been demonstrated that smokers who switch to low-tar, low-nicotine cigarettes smoke more of them than they did of their old brand. Cigarettes made with tobacco that has a higher-than-normal nicotine content would be useful for workers who have only a limited numbers of breaks on which they can smoke. The companies will, however, always make a greater profit on low-tar, low-nicotine products.
