There most certainly are outliers, and you are likely one of them for nicotine at least. What you want to avoid though is using your outlier status to influence people into thinking "hey, maybe I'm an outlier too, maybe I can use highly addictive substances and still stay in control too" because statistically that's going to end in a public health disaster.

Pretty much. My mom's soon-to-be-former partner had been an alcoholic previous to their relationship and was clean when they met. She got him some whisky for Christmas and figured it would be fine if he drank a little, because its never been a problem for her. Big mistake.
People are very very different in their drug tolerances and really shouldn't give advice to other people, because they are not the same.
