I'm a bit torn on the BC idea.

From a cold, heartless, financial perspective........Is the cost of patch offset by the health savings from getting a small percentage of people to quit?

From a compassionate perspective......Is it society's obligation to help people overcome addiction? (Gambling, Drinking, Drugs all have gov't sponsored programs).

At the end of the day, if the Gov't has found money to try, I'm OK with it. I'd probably prefer to see the money going into prevention, but treatment is understandable.
