I understand. That makes some sense. Though smokers' judgement is impaired by their addiction, one can imagine that at least they will have periods of sanity when they can choose to fix the addiction gene themselves.
We do appear to differ in the case when an infectious virus is the only option to help smokers fix that gene. I would release the virus in that case. I have no qualms taking that decision and absorbing the responsibility.
This seems contradictory to your earlier claims about wireheading. Say that some smokers get a lot of pleasure from smoking, and don't want to stop, and in fact would experience more pleasure in their lives if they kept the addiction. You'd release the virus?
