I have to say that while brand name medications are often the same as generics, they aren't always. The actual DRUG will be the same, but the delivery agent is often cheaper, and sometimes the purity controls aren't as high. I've had very, very bad reactions to the generic versions of two brand medications that I take.
Also, I know a woman (an SC I plan to write about someday, actually) whose husband probably died from quitting smoking cold turkey. Nicotene, among other things, expands blood vessels, I think. It's a stimulant, and a lot of stimulants can do this. I think it also might thin the blood. Point being, if someone has clogged artery troubles, quitting smoking too fast can indeed kill them.
Of course, crazy bleached-hair lady probably didn't know that. She probably was just being melodramatic. And seriously, three dollars? She could have one half sized meal and have three dollars. Bam! Just like that.
