I don't mean addiction to things such as alcohol, dangerous d-r-u-g-s etc., but to things like cigarettes, soda and the like. These things are bad for the body but not so much as alcohol for instance. You never lose your free will and the damage is not immediate or readily apparent, it's more long-term.

I am addicted to smoking and drinking coca cola, I haven't been able to pass a single day without these two for almost a decade. I think about them everyday, and I always make sure I have them available and I will even go late at night just to get them in case I run out.

I actually can't smoke without having coca cola, because my throat gets very bad and I just can't smoke. I used to be able to smoke just like that in the beginning, without needing some liquid, but one time, the first year of smoking, I got sick with a cold or something and I really wanted to smoke but my throat would really hurt. I discovered that if I had a drink of coke after every puff, it wouldn't hurt and I could smoke. Then when I got better, the feeling remained and I'm just not able to smoke dry anymore, it's very weird. So every single time I smoke I have to have coke. It makes me enjoy both things more actually, they feel better.

I also can't imagine having good meals like burgers with fries without coke, or steak etc., I really feel having coke with good meals makes it all the more enjoyable, so it's actually addiction of drinking coke with food and cigarettes. I rarely drink coke by itself, almost never actually.

I realize this is all very bad, bu I wonder if it's mortally sinful. I am aware I'm an addict, and that these things are bad for my body, and I have attempted to quit countless times only to fall back the next day, a couple of days later, or even hours later, it's really shocking.

You feel like you can't LIVE without these things, and it really becomes the center of your life, which is why I wonder if it's a sort of idolatry.

I know drinking coke and smoking, in themselves, are neither bad nor sinful, but the fact is that I'm addicted, and that is obviously bad.

The most I smoke every day is around 15 cigarettes though, sometimes more sometimes less, but never a pack. I have only smoked a pack in a day once or twice actually, and a long time ago. The most I drink coke is probably around 1300 ml a day, and again this varies but I don't think I've ever had 2 lt in a day for instance.

Addiction is a form of spiritual disorder.  Idolatry would be of a different species.

Maybe this will help:  Know that tobacco tax goes to pay for the school-based and linked clinics that are to provide contraception, refer for abortion  and coke is also a big company that supports abortion. There is also some chemical put in sodas, so that we don't vomit.  I am not sure what that is.

Try cutting back a little at a time.

My husband came home from Vietnam and was drinking 4 or more pepsi's a day!  When we were pregnant with #2, we had a mandatory nutrition session.  I was able to gain no more than 20-25 lbs and my husband lost 20lbs.  I told my husband to allow himself 3 pepsi's a week.
