Wow, you must have been living under a rock since 1950!
It's well known that the cigarette companies have maintained addiction by manipulating the amount of nicotine. It was even revealed in Congressional testimony that internally they have called cigarettes a "nicotine delivery system". The companies acted like drug dealers - they were drug dealers - and have killed more people than the Columbians.
Recently, the FDA has been given the power to regulate cigarettes as a drug. Surely it's going to hit the fan when they have an outright ban on adding nicotine to cigarettes. They don't have to ban cigarettes directly. This will put the nail in the coffin, so to speak.
