Don't kid yourself, nicotine addiction is extremely powerful.
I on the other hand have never seen anything remotely similar.

Don't kid yourself, nicotine is a powerful addiction, but is a joke compared to coke and heroin. It is insulting to people in rehab for hard drugs whose lives have been ruined to compare the two.
