The ways in which American society treats nicotine addiction has always differed from the ways in which it treats alcohol and other drugs. There are nicotine patches, gum, and now electronic cigarettes that purport to lead to smoking cessation. Medication in the form of a pill even exists.

The author needs to do some basic research. An anti-alcohol pill called "Antabuse" has been around for decades.

even causes cigarettes to taste worse

Not sure how that's possible.

Antabuse does not reduce cravings for alcohol. I makes a person violently sick when they consume booze.
