Is coffee/caffeine addiction the same as tobacco addiction at the heart?!


Question: Nevermind the horrible health effects of tobacco, but isnt tobacco addiction just the same as coffee addiction. Dont people go back to the substances because of the same reason?


Answers: Nevermind the horrible health effects of tobacco, but isnt tobacco addiction just the same as coffee addiction. Dont people go back to the substances because of the same reason?

All addictions have similar components. Caffine is not as strong a substance as Nicotine so it tends to be much more difficult to do without ciggy's than coffee.

But I agree with you ... The two addictions share more similarities than they have differences. And I think the psychological component is very much the same in all addictions.

To the previous poster: Nicotine is naturally occuring in tobacco. The tobacco plant is from the genus Nicotiana. But: there is a chemical additive in cigarettes that enhances the addictive power of nicotine! Coffee, as far as we know, does not contain anything like that.

It is not the same. ANYTHING can be used and/or abused so why limit it to only coffee, let's include junk food, big mac's
bacon double cheeseburgers etc. etc.

I dont know, but if I dont get my daily diet coke from sonic... I'm a bear! Has to be a fountain soda. Without the caffeine... I get BAD headaches.

YES SAME THING

no. it is not the same. tobacco contain another substance that cause addiction called nicotine. and nicotine cannot be found in coffee. but amazingly, you can still found anti-oxidants in coffee which in turn makes coffee a not-so-bad drink.
