Does This Mean I Am Addicted to Cigarettes?

Question by latinasophia: Does this mean i am addicted to cigarettes?
When i started college I made friends with a whole load of new people & every single one of those people smoke. I always told myself I would never smoke. I would stand with them outside while they had a cigarette so I know I was a passive smoker. At a party i was a little drunk & just decided to light up & have a smoke. I know find myself finishing off my friends cigarette when she doesn’t want the rest & sometimes when I am at home I find myself wanting a cigarette & I get quite irritable & annoyed over the fact that I can’t as I don’t have any. Am I addicted?

I think that you are on your way to addiction, but you are not addicted yet. You are not smoking enough and what you are suffering is more related to the psychological component of addiction.

Shoud Drug Addiction Be Considered a Disease?

Question by LalaLand: Shoud drug addiction be Considered a Disease?

Best answer:

Answer by Jaymjensen
If we allow alcoholism and gambling to be disorders then we might as well. It’s retarded that people think like that.
The only reason why we classify it as a disease or disorder is so drug companies can pump out more drugs and make more money.
In my opinion there is no such thing as Alcoholism, or Gambling addictions, or even depression or ADD. I think it’s stupid people buy into that because we are all hypochondirachs. They’ll probably come out with a new addiction tomorrow about soda drinking disorders. F*cking nonsense!

Answer by Windy
First, we need to differentiate between drug use and drug addiction, because they are two different things. Contrary to what some people still believe, a chemical addiction is a disease.
