Maybe it's not very addictive for you. It is for most people.
The way you are with coffee is the way I am with nicotine. I've smoked. I've quit smoking. I've started again. The most craving I've gotten for a cigarette was incredibly mild. Once I read that nicotine could trigger certain diseases that run in my family, I quit tobacco completely and I've never looked back. I haven't had a cigarette in about 18 years, and quitting was trivially easy for me.
Based on this, I could say "Cigarettes aren't very addictive. They're easy to quit!" And of course, I'd be dead wrong.
