How addictive it is doesn’t translate as to how harmful it can be to your psyche and/or how bad the withdrawal effects are
Yes it does? “In the context of criteria for addiction of dependence presented by the World Health Organization, the American Psychiatric Association, and the US Surgeon General, we consider several lines of evidence, including patterns of mortality, physical dependence potential, and pharmacologic addiction liability measures.”.
It is also ignoring how much easier you can get nicotine, compared to heroin.
Availability isn’t something utilized to measure a substance’s potential for addiction. It’s a factor when we evaluate how widespread the addiction may become, but not for how addicted an individual will be.

This has been an incredibly inaccurate comment.
