Never in a million years. Some people are addicted to coffee. Do you want to bring that addiction into the equation? Absurd? Of course it is:but it is a perfect example of how everything is relative.

Who hands over note after note for twenty cups of coffee a day because they have to?

Boothy's comparison is entirely relevant. Cigarettes could kill you gradually. Crack and Heroin could kill you instantly. Both are extremely addictive.

You could stop smoking. Amy could have stopped shooting up/hitting the pipe.

Stop trying to cover for your own addiction. It's an addiction just like Amy's. Only hers was more immediate and instantly devestating.

It's a valid comparison. Again take your own tobacco addiction - my own tobacco addiction - and multiply it by a thousand. Surely you can see where we are coming from?
