I know that research on tobacco is full of bad science and bad actors, and experts in different fields (such as social psychology) continued to publish bad science on the topic well into the 2000s. This includes your 2002 German paper (which I can’t read because of a paywall).
Your second source says nothing about addiction in the chapter you posted, however they do talk about addiction in chapter 6, and they claim that most people agree that smoking is addictive, but heavy smoking is more addictive.
- Windchaser 12d agoStill, (chiming in), your claim that " I am also sure that every single one of them did indeed get addicted to nicotine, and many of them died from cancer" could use some evidence to back it up. My understanding is that only about 35% of those who ever try nicotine become addicted. If you are going to instead say that nearly everyone who smokes occasionally will become addicted, you need to back it up with evidence, because it's not apparent.
