@Centaurus errr... I'm not convinced - do you think that "drug" would be appropriate if the addiction isn't a chemical? Sex, or porn, for example?

I'd say substance if it's a substance. Otherwise their vice or habit.

addictive is usually used as an adjective, but works as a noun, too:
addictive (plural addictives)
- A drug that causes an addiction.
- Anything that is very habit-forming.

@Brondahl With all respect to Wiktionary.org (I think it's doing a fine job), it is a very permissive dictionary. It's the dictionary that lists words when none of the other common "authoritative" (scare quotes) dictionaries do. By those I mean, Oxford, Merriam-Webster, American Heritage, Collins, Cambridge, Macmillan, Random House, Longman etc.
