Cigarette smoking: more than a habit.
The author states that the pharmacologic and behavioral processes that determine nicotine addiction are similar to those that determine addiction to heroin and cocaine. He maintains that treatment of nicotine addiction should be more widely available, and suggests that many physicians still view cigarette smoking erroneously as a habit rather than a true drug addiction.
