People are not simple cost-benefit calculators, and even if they were, it's easy to screw up that calculation when 1) companies spend billions of advertising dollars each year to shift the perceived benefit (+ network effects reaped from years prior), and 2) you don't have experience with potentially addictive substances. Once you're hooked, it's no longer a fair fight, particularly if you have a susceptible personality.

Life is never fair. if I have a susceptible personality, that mean I just have to fight it harder than other people.
