Might I suggest overhauling addiction? It's a great mechanic that strongly discourages repeated abusing of several addictive chemicals...there's just...one major problem with it:
It's easily circumventable and effectively a moot point to those who know how. Since addictions only proc on INGEST, anything that adds reagents directly to someone (cigs, smoke, hyposprays, and patches for instance); anyone remotely interested in using combat chems will always use one of these messages so they can abuse the chems to no end with no consequences for doing so if they stay under the overdose threshold.
