Scarface, nicotine is proven to be addictive. Studies upon studies have shown its addictive nature. I know I am addicted because it's torture right now for me not to go out and smoke. Sheer willpower is keeping me from smoking. I still feel like I need to smoke, that is addiction.
If you want to refuse to believe the actual science of addiction, that's fine, but you'd still be wrong. Have you ever heard of the occasional drinker? What do you think alcoholism is? It's an addiction. Doesn't matter that some people drink without any problems.
I don't care how many people you reference who occasionally smoke, that doesn't negate the millions who are addicted. It's fact.
BTW, I smoked 7-10 cigarettes a day too, sometimes less, sometimes more. I consider at least one a day to be addicted. An occasional smoker as far as I'm concerned is someone who does it every few weeks or months.
