I ran into such study before. The methodology is quite simple : ask your pool if they are trying to stop any drug. Then, rig them up every month and ask them if it worked. The results were eye openner.
Drugs, from most addictive to less :
- Nocotine
- Heroine
- Alchool
- Crack
- ...
- Cafeine
- Marijuana
- Chocolate
They also included medical studies on the side effect of trying to quit : from worse to mild :
- Alchool (it can kill you)
- Heroine
- Nicotine
- Crack
- ...
- Cafeine, Merijuana
- Chocolate
Now I wish I had kept the link
