Exactly. Alcohol is something that many people drink, but aren't addicted to. The gum would only be for addicts, and I don't think it would look good on them for selling it.But unlike alcohol which is a high profit item that can be sold to a lot of people in a short time (to both addicts and mostly, non-addicted), nicotine gum is something that only an addict would need but likely already have and if they didn't, one package would be enough - and they could be shared.
