I think it's partly habit - that doing something with your hands sort of thing. I soon got over that, though, when I gave up 6 years back. I'm still addicted to nicotine though, and can't quite shake the nicotine lozenges.

If you're really interested, there are sort of two parts to addiction.
The 'physical' side. Withdrawal of the drugs produces real physical symptoms. A hangover after drinking lots of alcohol being the most obvious example. Hence 'the hair of the dog'.
The 'mental' side. If someone drinks excessively - or uses other mind altering substances on a regular basis - the reasons why they do this have to be addressed, or they will go back to using that drug, even after stopping for long enough to get over the withdrawal symptoms.

Which would make nicotine the addiction, smoking cigarettes the habit.

It is an addiction just like heroin and other drugs. Don't try to make out it isn't.
Smoking may well become a habit too. But to quit you first have to combat the addiction and then the habit which may take longer.
This is especially true when a smoker tries to quit as their "friends" don't like to see others doing better than they are and will try to make it difficult for them to quit. Smokers can be bastards, they don't care about themselves so they sure don't care about others.
