None of us are totally responsible for our addictions, be it nicotine or caffeine. There are many public relations, behavior modification, and advertising groups that specialize in convincing us to try their products.
One of the most positive aspects of electronic cigarettes is that, without the cigarette smoke, nicotine users should become as socially accepted as caffeine users. The idea that we should somehow apologize for our use of nicotine is like coffee drinkers feeling guilty about their chemical of choice.
Nicotine without the smoke is actually beneficial in many ways, and is being studied for the treatment or prevention of a number of diseases and conditions, including Alzheimer's, Schizophrenia, Tourette's syndrome, according to Paul Newhouse, M.D., University of Vermont College of Medicine.
Just my two cents.
