I'm sure part of the reason making shit like heroin illegal doesn't work in the slightest is the fact it's fucking heroin. Cigarettes are not nearly as addictive in terms of the feeling they provide. I'm not disagreeing with your point though.
Cigarettes are horribly addictive, it's the habit. I have seen people quit because they were pregnant or switch other nicotine things, but never quit outright. A guy (an anecdote ) once told me that quitting heroin was easier than quitting cigarettes. At least to him.

While I've heard that too, I'd still rather be a nic addict than a heroin junkie
