If you smoke regularly long enough, you will become addicted to the drug nicotine. Any foriegn drug consumed regularly by the body carries dependance risk, including caffeine and sugar.
Drugs affect the body's own dopamine neurotransmitters. You probably know that dopamine controls the brain's pleasure and happiness centers. Drugs (I cant remember exactly how...) that interact with these pathways are called "mood altering". They make you feel on top of the world (like cocaine) or mellow (like heroine), hysterical (like weed) or relaxed in a tense situation (like a half a pack cigarrettes during a "certain problem").
I read, or saw on tv, that geneticists have id'd a rare gene (or subunit of) that makes a carrier's body break down nicotene much slower than the average person, halting the formation of dependance. But since this is rare, I would say that turning to cigarrettes today is your first sign of addiction.
addiction is typical if you have an addictive personality. If you dont then yes it is very possible to not get addicted to anything.
If you smoke consistently for about a month you will very likely become addicted, however there is a chance you are one of the very rare people who don't become addicted in any way shape or form.
I smoke socially when I drink, maybe one or two cigs in a night once or twice a month and I've never been addicted.
In my experience they get addictive after a certain period of regular use. Not if you smoke a limited amount with long periods in between.
So you have smoked twice now, and each time was a half a pack. First, I'm suprised it didn't make you vomit and second.... I believe you need to keep smoking continually to become addicted. Those who have one alcohol drink don't become alcoholics after one or two drinks.
yes you are but u dont notice it
addiction grows with time , that is also happenning to u .
cigrates r absolutely addictive. inspite decreasing time spam b/w intake iincrease it.
Depends a little on how the receptors in your body react to the nicotine. Some poor people with strong receptors become almost immediately addicted. For most it takes time.
