...as addictive as tobacco is, I haven't heard that it has caused smokers to commit burglaries or mug passers-by.
I think your local police would disagree. People tend to commit those crimes for money. In the UK, a packet of cigarettes costs around £5 so even on 20 a day, that is £150 per month - equivalent to 1/2 the monthly rent on a basic flat/apartment or twice the jobseekers allowance for the same period. Being on the poverty line with a tobacco habit is arguably more costly to the individual than with a similarly acute pure cannabis habit and possibly than with a similarly acute alcohol habit.
