How quickly do you get addicted to smoking?!


Question: some people aftre 1 cigarette, others after a few , some after weeks of smoking.

funnily enough i can stop whenever i want.
i can smoke at weekends, when i go out for a drink or even if im just out with friends then i can quite easily go months without smoking with no problems.

this way smoking is not an addiction to me, it is just something i can enjoy.

As soon as you inhale properly. Nicotine gets into the bloodstream quicker than any drug known to man...or woman

it becomes a hbit very quickly - dont smoke - i did for 30 years and gave up 2 months ago and it has been so hard. its not just your health but the money - what i spent on cigarettes i could have had a really good holiday every year instead of a budget one

I smoked, but was never addicted like my Mama and sister..

Depends on the individual.

At school they told us that it was after one cigarette. If you are thinking of trying it, DON'T. Cigarettes contain Millions of Chemicals, It is better for your health to drink a bottle of bleach (Don't, That was a joke!)

It's different. I'm not addicted. Well maybe that's not right. There are different degrees. It takes a good while, especially if you just keep the smoke in your mouth when you smoke (like everyone who first tries odes this) then you won't get addicted.
I can go with out smoking for weeks and even months. I'm a social smoker and it really isn't hard. I only get small craving when I smell 2nd hand smoke.
If you are concerned that smoking a few cigarettes will get you addicted, it won't.

after the 1st ciggy, the need to be cool and be like your mates drives you to choke down the smoke even tho its making you cough...isnt that being addicted..doing something you know is wrong but doing it any way?

dont do it...or do...its up to you.

well I always smoked socially and could take it or leave it until the last year so about a year and a half lol

But i'm weird so....

Some say, as soon as you take that first drag, but other people are less susceptical to addiction so I guess I was lucky and should have stopped it then.

The brain pathways of addiction to nicotine take only a few weeks to establish and can remain in place for the rest of your life. Even long term ex-smokers remain at risk of relapse.
