There is a 12 step program for smoking, but it's not AA
Like most people at the time the founders of AA smoked and so did a lot of the members. Being addicted to nicotine, food, sex, debt, controling other people, avoiding a fit lifestyle and poor nutrition can be exacerbated by, or co-exist with alcoholism.
For most of us, getting sober by working the 12 steps of AA is the first priority in our lives. Sometimes other problems are worked on sometimes quickly, sometimes slowly.
In AA we have a singleness of purpose: to help the Alcoholic recover from Alcoholism. What and when people work on other problems we leave up to them.
