Because people who are addicted go for the same hit of nicotine each time, therefore if there is less nicotine in each cigarette they will have to smoke more cigarettes to get their usual hit.

We're talking ~95% drop in nicotine. You'd have to smoke 20 cigarettes in the same amount of time to get the same effect. With the price of smokes these days, no smoke options are going to look a lot more attractive.

Idk about that, here in the Netherlands there was a study that showed 50% would still continue smoking if the prices went up to €60 per small pack.
