Question by Angel: Is Nicotine more addictive than heroin?
I have heard that this is so. Which I find hard to believe. I was a smoker for many years, and gave up cold turkey. I haven’t had a smoke for several weeks, and don’t feel like one.
If it is more addictive than heroin, why are there so many junkies?
Does anybody have any facts?

Smoking is habit, heroin is an addiction.

Answer by sailor_chronos
Nicotine is addictive, but nowhere nearly as much as many other drugs there are out there. Heroin and its derivatives are the most addictive drugs known.
