Believe me, I get that. One addiction that kills you more slowly than the alcoholism. The short term survival, I get.

The longer term problem though is are you really breaking a person of addiction habits by continuing those addiction habits, just on something else less destructive but highly addictive itself? After all they have been through and may feel they have given up, now they have to give up smoking? Try that when you keep going back to a smoky AA meeting where almost everyone else is chain smoking.

Honestly, I think you will be hard pressed to find an AA meeting that allows smoking in the room any more.

FWIW
