I think nicotine does something to people's brains, rendering them unable to consider consequences.

Addiction. That is what nicotine does to peoples brains. It makes people ignore the consequences to their own body. (I say this while toking on a vape. However, I haven't smoked a cigarette in a while, so that is nice.)

People are just generally idiots.
