While I have no personal experience with heroin, I do know people that have quit both. Sometimes literally. The one thing I have heard from them, and witnessed, is that the cigarettes were harder to walk away from. Perhaps there are other physical considerations to heroin withdrawals, things that I have personally seen, but the issue isn't physically dangerous, but how hard it is to walk away from them. It's a pain, I'll tell you. I quit several months before I got ill, and it wasn't easy to do. In fact, it was so easy to fall back into the habit right where I left off that it really makes one wonder what's up. But, I have seen the reality of people walking away from heroin, cocaine, and cigarettes, and I'll tell you, the dope is easy to leave alone, if it is hard on you physically, but the cigarettes are not. Availability has a lot to do with that too, I'd imagine.
