No money to buy cigarettes? That must be deeply upsetting.

I don't think it's right to have "no money to buy food" and "no money to buy cigarettes" in the same sentence.

It is deeply upsetting if you're a smoker. If he's going through a tough time, nicotine withdrawal is going to be an unnecessary addition to his problems.

Not necessarily. Many can stop smoking without withdrawal.
