nicotine addiction varies from person to person. some people have a genetic predisposition to be very sensitive to nicotine, in which case they get alot more form one cig than a regular person would, thus they smoke less and do not become addicted.
i read a book that included a study that was conducted on nicotine addiction which puts the ‘tipping point’ of cigarette addiction at most probable in those who smoke over 4 a day. after that point you are very likely to become hooked.
some people on the basis of a purely addictive personality will be hooked for life from the first one. some people will smoke casually 1 or 2 a day, or a few a week and never become addicted at all.
doing anything for long periods of time creates a sort of ‘beaten path’ that your body gets used to doing. like biting your nails some people get used to the act of smoking. this tends to happen more often in people who get sued to smoking along with certain activities [like if you have a smoke and a cup of coffee every morning for a year and then decide you want to stop smoking youre hand will reflexively miss the act of hold a cigarette.] if you decide to stop and this is a problem you can replace the cig with something of a similar shape like a pen or lollipop
from personal experience:
i tried my first cig way back in like 5th grade and never touched the things again till this november. im not hooked on it, but i do like it, more so probably just because i like the act of smoking no matter what it is. i recently quit for a month cause i got caught and it was easy, and a pack lasts me at least 2 weeks.
i wont push it on anyone, its got pretty bad consequences in the long run, but im not gonna say its the devil either. you gotta know yourself and your self control
