Sherrie: Scientists now agree that nicotine in tobacco is addictive inasmuch as smokers who try to stop smoking suffer withdrawal symptoms  For this reason alone, tobacco should be treated the same way as other dangerous drugs  Governments worldwide have a duty to restrict the manufacture and sale of tobacco  Fran: By your own admission, addictive is broad enough to include other commonly consumed products, such as coffee and soft drinks containing caffeine
But of course the manufacture and sale of these products should not be restricted
The manufacture and sale of all drugs should be regulated by governments.
