It may be compared to heroin addiction but nicotine has never gotten anyone to lose their family, resort to prostitution, or be homeless because they can't quit smoking. It is nothing like a heroin addiction. I spent 20 years going back and forth between IV heroin use and Alcoholism that got as bad as a half gallon of liquor a day. I also am a smoker. I can promise you it is nothing near as insidious as heroin, alcohol, crack, and other drug addictions. Also sex addiction, which cost people their marriage is worse than a cigarette habit. Food addiction in which people damage their health, sometimes irreparably and people continue to eat despite health concerns is about the closest you could come to in comparison to a cigarette habit.
