The difference in addictiveness of sugar compared to alcohol and tobacco is largely discussed isn’t it? I can’t source it but I read something about that. It’s more that our society is culturally more accepting of sugar than it should…

I don't know about addictiveness but sugar isn't as harmful as alcohol, for example. Don't get me wrong - in my opinion the negative effects of sugar aren't taken seriously enough but they are far less pronounced and further down the road, while you can easily destroy your whole life in a year of alcoholism.
