I find that nicotine's addictiveness is due to legality. That being said, I quit the various opiates much easier than cigarettes.

  As a smoker, I wish it was illegal tomorrow. Then I could buy one or two smokes every now and then, but I would have to go well out of my way.

    At $10 per cigarette, in a neighborhood where you're likely to get shot. But they're illegal in order to keep us safe. Right.

  As someone that has smoked [1] I think legality is important - but it's also the relatively mild effects. If you're getting frustrated at work, you can take a break, give yourself a quick "boost" by stopping for a cig, and then go back to work. Something that's not really possible with heroin, or marijuana or any other "drug" apart from caffeine. [1] ten years on and I still don't say "ex-smoker" as one of the mental tricks to help me deal with it EDIT formatting
