I agree a lot more with mayib than with this post. Addicts of whatever drug should get their act together.
Whether it is tobacco, coffee, alcohol, cocaine, heroine or whatever, if you get addicted you're a looser and you need a slap in the face much more than all this compassion and soft treatments.
If my partner got addicted, she would have to choose. Choose the drug, and you're alone.
