This makes sense but there are other ways to administer nicotine. Why put them and the people at risk for cancer when you can put a simple patch on the skin and get the same effects with less possible side effects?

Standing beside an obese person isn't going to make you obese. Standing beside someone who is smoking may help you to develop cancer or some sort of respiratory illness.

At this point they are mostly looking at "Why does it seem that a large number of people with psychiatric disorders smoke?" then doing drug trials.
