Am I addicted to smoking ?!


Question: Am I addicted to smoking !?
Ok now since 16yrs old I've been having ciggerettes, and 3 years on I still dont feel addicted!. Not enough to call me a smoker anyway!. I have never craved for a ciggerette in that time, and have gone days and weeks without it!. The only time I seem to smoke is when im out with my mates or on a break sometimes at work!.

When im out (not at my house) and im drinking I will usually smoke (alot) but I dont know why that is!.

I can quit im sure, because all I have to do is NOT smoke which I find easy!. If I can do it for a month I know myself well enough to know I can continue forever!. But ill be honest I do enjoy it when im out with my mates!.

Am I addicted!.!.!.!.!.!? am I a social smoker (if there is such a thing)!.!.!.!?Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
The question is, if you know you can quit then why don't you!? The answer to your question is the degree of addiction!. You enjoy it and that's what draws you in!. Right now you're a social smoker!. That doesn't necessarily mean that it's easy to just switch off though!. That's the psychological side of the addiction!. In your mind, you associate hanging out with friends with having the occasional cigarette!. When you are at home, your mind isn't in this mode so you don't have cravings!.

I totally understand you, because I was at this stage for ages! Some people don't develop a "full blown addiction" i!.e!. cravings no matter what the situation is, for a while after taking it up!. However, it does happen eventually!. Smoking is like a commitment (dumb analogy but oh well)!. The only way you can get addicted is if you continue to smoke!. You now have a choice, and don't let anyone bully you or sanctimoniously lecture you into quitting!. At the same time, don't let anyone make you think it's cool if you don't want to!.

Do you want to become a regular smoker!? Because right now, you are in control of the addiction but one day it will have the control over you!. But remember, it's your body and you can do whatever you want with it, just don't make a decision too late!. =)Www@Answer-Health@Com

FIRST OF ALL look why are you asking us and you know what's best for you!.If you feel you are addicted then just say hey i'm addicted to smoking!.If you know you can stop why are you convincing yourself that you are addicted!?TRUST ME!.I know exactley where you coming from girl!.But if you feel like you can't stop just chew gum!.It works for me so there you go!.Sorry I can give you professional information but no one's perfect and this is the best advice to go with!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

No, but you will be!. It is a slow process and if you keep doing it, by 20, you will be addicted!.

"I will usually smoke (alot)" Maybe you are somehow already addicted to it!.!.!.smoke receptors are slowly attaching to your brain!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

everyone smokes ALOT when there drunk!.!.!.!.well, you obviously can't quit, if you go back to smoking after a month!.

Nicotine gives a nerve cell in your brain Extra pleasure, so to have that same pleasure you would have to smoke again!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

It sounds like you are a social smoker (there is such a thing) and that you simply enjoy smoking rather than craving the drug!. Lucky get!
Ive smoked for 7 years now (thats a thrid of my life)!.!.!.and God I wish I could go that long with out it!. I've tried to quit several times but have zilch will power!.

If I were you, dont smoke!. If you like the idea of smoking when you go out, which does make sense because there a whole other social group, go out with them but dont smoke!.
It'll save you money and your lungs!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
