The statement of purpose for this group
https://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=about&forum=1144

A supportive resource for people recovering from addictions (drugs, alcohol, over-eating, gambling, etc.) which negatively affect all areas of their lives, and for friends and family of recovering or active addicts.


Emphasis in the above added. Anyone who thinks nicotine is not addictive is almost certain to be a troll.

Some have in the past have posted here on nicotine addiction and nobody raised an objection in all the time I've been here since 2007 if not earlier.

As has been mentioned, there is a smoking cessation group, but that doesn't mean you can't post about your addiction here.

Just like people can post here about their overeating issues, and have many many times over the years, even though there is an Eating Disorders Support group and a Weight Loss/Maintenance group. DU and this group are not "there's a specific group for that, so F. Off" type of place.

Full disclosure: I'm not a host or other authority figure.
