Best way to tell if you're addicted to anything - quit! And if you can't, you're an addict and should stop being in denial over it and just accept it. I know smoking is unhealthy and everything but there are worse things out there you could be addicted to. And at least its a legal addiction too.

Honestly I think you are addicted to smoking. But hey prove me wrong! Quit! And if you go for a year with no withdrawl symptoms or cravings at all, then I guess you're not an addict.

Well, if you're not addicted, why do you have to smoke in general ?
You obviously know it's bad for your health .

I don't think you're as addicted as many others, but you're still addicted.

But you're not addicted? yeah...right. wake up.

no if you smoke a couple times you get addicted

I have met a couple people who have that ability, but not very many. Maybe one or two. I have to tell you that I admire people like you who have that strength or resistance to such an addictive thing. I wish I had that ability! My brother in law is the same way. He recently just quit, he only smoked for enjoyment. He has had not a problem one with quitting for good.

I think so-there are people who just smoke socially or when they drink, some people smoke when they are stressed?

I'm the same way!
I've only been smoking for maybe a year,
butt somedays i'll smoke a lot, even though i dont really feel like a need it.
As of right now, i've gone a week without a cig, even though i have a pack sitting right here.

i guess we're just not addicted?
you should probably quit then, it'd be really really easy.
i'm about to just go ahead and quit since i've already made it so far.

There are a small number of people who don't fall prey to the nicotine addiction. I used to smoke a pack a day then quit for many years. I started working with a person who smoked and I restarted but I may smoke a pack a week. I can go for days or weeks without smoking but sometimes I'll buy a pack if going to the Bar or someplace where others are smoking. But I have no "need" for a cigarette.
Of course, why smoke I ask myself, but I never answer.

If you smoke about once a week
