Are cigarettes addicting

Are cigaretts as addicting as people make them out to be. Because me and my cousin smoked 4 packs of cigarettes and I haven’t had the urge to smoke one at all and it’s been 3 days.

No rat poison, but there are plenty of bad things in them. There is a period of time before anyone gets addicted, sometimes right away sometimes not. And a few never become addicted. But once you are, it becomes VERY hard to stop. I started smoking when I was 10 by puffing (not inhaling) ones I got around my home or bought at the store (I was in Germany). Once I began inhaling I eventually got addicted until I was 33 when thoughts of my kids following my habits helped my quit for good - but it took SEVEN years before the urge finally left. And I know that if I ever started again, I will be drawn back in at light speed.

Not only are cigarettes addicting, they are expensive, and you will smell REALLY bad. Only other smokers will be able to stand next to you. (I have even told people I like, to stand back because they reek.) They are a leading cause of lung cancer and emphysema (that is where your lungs cannot get oxygen from the air you breath - you literally can die of asphyxiation. I know someone who did.)

Answer #2

Yes they are…the addiction is insidiuous. Smoking now and then, probably won’t get you addicted…but everybody crosses the line where they realize that smoking has progressed into something that isn’t a choice any more.

I’ve heard ex-junkies and ex-alcoholics say that cigarettes were harder to kick than either of the other drugs.

Answer #3

Well It’sprobably not addicting at first but over time after smoking regularly you probably start becomming more addicted and it gets harder to quit.

Answer #4

I smoked cigarettes every now and again, but I dont have an urge to smoke one, I am not addicted. but I think cigarettes are gross, im more of a weed type of person.

Answer #5

smoking is really bad for you,so it a good thing that you don’t the urge anymore.
