Nicotine and caffeine are addictive.

Sorry old pal but you're a propaganda victim. Find me some credible evidence that pure nicotine has significant potential for dependence. There is plenty that contradicts you, I'll give you the refs if you don't know of it.
Purely on a personal note - that is to say, anecdotally - I agree about coffee from my perspective alone. Coffee withdrawal lasts 3 days for me, and I have measurable withdrawal symptoms. For nicotine I have none, now that smoking is many years in the past for me.
We know there is no clinical evidence for nicotine dependence, and plenty that that contradicts a statement that 'nicotine creates dependence'; but I have no idea about the situation with coffee as that (a) isn't my interest and (b) it has little or none of the massive health issues of smoking, AFAIK (not my area).
