Ehhh as an addict, I can say that there are some pretty big material differences between quitting smoking, sugar, alcohol, etc. Legality and how the substance is socialised are for sure huge factors in its perception, and how addiction is internalised, but yeah... there are real physical differences.
Not that you were necessarily making that point, but close enough, and I've seen it made before. No offense.
