        Yes--applies to nicotine, too. About half a million Americans die every year due to nicotine addiction. These deaths are often brutal.

        Addiction includes contrasting distinctions of tolerance and withdrawal. Cessation has its own definition.

        Bad case load limits and a bad definition won't get facilities in communities to help. You are not using a collegiate addiction definition.
