Maybe you find caffeine 2/3 as good because it's not as addictive as nicotine.

Nicotine isn't any more addictive than caffeine when you control for route of administration.
Sure but GGP said he used chewing tobacco.
Caffeine is highly addictive. It only takes a few days of use for signs of addiction to show. Cessation is just easier than nicotine.

Eh... not for me. I can use caffeine for days and then not use it for days no problems at all. Of course probably because caffeine does absolutely nothing to me. I just like the hot beverage.
