Fines mean no deterrent to chain smokers, especially the rich, who would rather pay the fine at the worst to have a smoke in public to mitigate the pain of nicotine addiction.
这句话中,would rather 后 搭配的是to, 是否对?

动词不定式 to mitigate the pain of nicotine addiction ,是 have a smoke in public 的目的状语。跟 would rather 无关。rather 只是放在 would 后面的一个副词,与would 合成表示“宁愿”。其实,would 本身就是情态动词表示“意愿”,不要让 rather 蒙蔽了判断,情态动词 would 后面原本就不接带 to 的不定式,pay 就是。
