F 10/8 Goodin 284-292 – Irrationality, addiction, and the restriction of smoking

2. How does addiction undermine one’s ability to give consent, even if it doesn’t completely eliminate one’s ability to resist?

3. How, in both cases, is paternalism supposed to help people to better achieve their own goals?
