How powerful is Nicotine in comparison to other drugs?

Obviously the dose varies greatly and you can’t compare a cigarette to a syringe full of Heroin, however, in comparison to other recreational drugs, how powerful is Nicotine? Taking all things into account, not just its psychoactive effects.

According to my doctor it’s as addictive as heroin
if you’re a 20-a-day smoker and the withdrawls can be severe in some people
but like you said, everyone is different in how much they smoke and how addictive a personality they have
I’m a smoker, have tried to stop twice, both times I was unsuccessful …sadly

    I dont believe nicotine is powerful. When I wanted to stop smoking I did, just stopped. Mind over matter, it is habit forming though and its the habit you must break.
