Dude...I feel for you. And you are right - smoking is a much better alternative. Unfortunately, a drug addict cannot use any mind-altering substances. They will just become the next drug of choice or push them back to their original drug or something similar.
Rehab centers allow you to smoke and drink coffee, but that's it. And it's probably why most recovering addicts do both!
Good luck with your father. PM me if you'd like to hear some other "tough love" lessons I have learned over the past six years.
