Nicotine (while also dopaminergic) primarily targets the nicotinic acetylcholine receptors in the brain. Blocking this with buproprion (a nicotinic receptor antagonist) significantly reduces the addictivity.

Methamphetamine (while EXTREMELY dopaminergic) also hits opioid receptors in the brain. Blocking this with buprenorphine (an opioid receptor antagonist) reduces addictivity. This also works for cocaine and actual opioids.

The other things you mentioned are only weakly addictive anyway.
