Hmm...
It is a weird one / tricky thing...
I heard that nicotine was something like 4x as addictive as morphene. When it came to soldiors who had both during the war available to them as rations and then after the war how many of them were alright about being weaned off of morphene but not alright about being weaned off of cigarettes.
But I think that was morphene. Not heroin. And not fentynl. I think those latter things are (were designed to be?) more effective (additive?).
But what you say seems right about how people don't end up in the place they end up in over other drugs when it comes to cigarettes.
But maybe that is because cigarettes are relatively socially accepted and relatively freely available.
I mean... It it was socially accepted to smoke your crack pipe in the streets during the day the way it is socially accepted to smoke a cigarette... Well... It is coming to be, I suppose.
Hard to tell the difference between a vape pipe and... Well...
Maybe decriminalising and making these things socially accepted (more so) will have an effect of disempowering the harms.
I don't know.
I don't really feel that I understand / have a handle on things.
