I would say they are pretty different vices. Alcohol is a mood/mind altering drug. For someone with a true dependency, the experience is more akin to heroin than a cigarette. So far, society's attempt to make those kind of drugs harder to get and more expensive is that addicts end up destroying their lives to get them.
