Why does the DEA and AMA allow tobacco companies to continue to put nicotine in cigarettes?

nicotine
It’s obvious and has been for years that the most lethally addicting substance available is cigarettes. But tobacco doesn’t have any addicting ingredients, cigarette companies ADD nicotine to get consumers addicted. Why in the world is there a “war on drugs” when the most heinous drug is allowed everywhere?

How come cigarette companies are allowed to spray tobacco with nicotine?

nicotine
I understand that it is found naturally in the plant but they spray more on it when they make the cancer sticks. How come they’re allowed to do this?

What was the original reason to add nicotine to cigarettes?

nicotine
And if you say “to make them addictive”, please provide reliable evidence to support your claim.

@JCS – I did not know that. I thought cigarette companies added nicotine to cigarettes. I always thought smoking a Marlboro or a Newport was more dangerous than smoking out of a hookah or rolling your own cigarettes.
