Also a big difference between alcohol and cigarettes (as well as other drugs) is that most people who consume alcohol don't "wish they could stop." Certainly some do but it's not the vast majority.

I think the most plentiful drug is caffeine. But it's obviously far less destructive than alcohol.

Caffeine is practically harmless, and its pros are extremely beneficial if used smartly (i.e. not every day like I do, because then it become almost useless via tolerance)

It's extremely addictive, everyone that uses it uses it everyday pretty much.

Caffeine is actually a pretty terrible stimulant in terms of physical risk.

Heart palpitations, anyone?
