I certainly didn't; I simply quoted a sentence from the article. (I've noticed that some people have difficulty distinguishing between the person who quotes something and the person being quoted ... it might be a Sally-Anne effect.)

Yes, which makes this article even less reliable.

The part where you said nicotine was a bad habit seemed to be your words,

an unquoted section.

You can attribute that opinion to the author, or society, or whoever now, if you choose,

regardless my point remains: nicotine shouldn’t be filed under “bad habit” by default.
