weird experience -- how did this work?

I am totally stressed out and just had a SUPER-frustrating day at work. It just seems that a zillion people need a million things from me, and no one has time for "Thank you." So, I went to the grocery store tonight intent on buying for a binge.

As I was contemplating hamburger buns, a younger woman came up to me. She asked me if I would buy some of her food stamps from her so that she could use the cash to buy cigarettes. I declined, saying I really wasn't comfortable doing that. (And for SO many reasons, all of which you may guess.)

And yet... Standing there planning my binge, I felt that I could not self-righteously deny someone else's addiction. So I just flat out give her money for a pack of cigarettes, and told her to save her food stamps for nutrition.

And then I bought some spinach and went home, all urge to binge extinguished.

I know that buying food stamps is wrong (and illegal, and I'm pretty sure that without a card I can't do a thing with them anyway) but I kind of think that giving her money for cigs or any kind of drug might be wrong, too. So how come it helped me so much?
