With regard to one of the most common drug addictions, nicotine, one thing to consider (IMHO) are the number of discriminative stimuli that signal an opportunity to smoke. Thus, the person attempting to stop smoking must stop in all of those situations and therefore must essentially quit smoking multiple times. Perhaps the smoking bans will make this easier because there are fewer signals that you can smoke.
