  • Do you smoke daily? Do you crave a cigarette from time to time? If so, you are probably addicted. Addiction is a state in which the body relies on a substance for normal functioning and develops physical dependence. When this substance is suddenly removed, it will cause withdrawal symptoms.

  • That doesn't nessecarily make you an addict. To test it you should see if one time when you go out with your friends you can restrain from smoking. If you aren't craving cigs or if they are something you can do without and still function properly then no you are not addicted to them. Hope this helps.

  • You might not be addicted; however you shouldn't smoke at all since it is very unhealthy. If all your friends smoke, maybe you should start hanging out with non smoking friends as well or take your smoking friends out to places where they can't smoke and then you will not feel obligated to join them.
