Can you get addicted to smoking around 5 cigarettes a week?!

Question: Can you get addicted to smoking around 5 cigarettes a week?

For the past month or so I have been smoking around 5 cigarettes a week. I usually have 1 in the beginning of the week, 1 near the end of the week, and around 3 when I drink which is not always, but usually on the weekend. Now, my question is would this cause an addiction over time? Other than smoking I am fairly healthy, I drink a lot of water and usually exercise. I never smoke alone and I never "need" a cigarette. I know it's not healthy. PLEASE DON'T TELL ME OTHERWISE.

Answers:

if you restrict yourself to one, or five cigarettes a week,
there is no second "right" opinion about it,
that you will get addicted to it in due course of time.
i am a chain smoker myself today and it all starts,
more or less,
like the way you have mentioned in your question.
though, being a smoker myself, i advise you through
the depth of my heart, very sincerely and honestly,
just stay away from smoking,
if you listen to me today, you will remember me for
lifetime.
at this time, it is very easy for you to quit it,
but as the time passes by,
it will become more and more difficult to quit,
day by day, week by week and so on.
so just quit it, not day, BUT NOW,
as you read my response,
I AM NOT TELLING YOU OTHERWISE,
I AM TELLING YOU TRUTH OF LIFE.
all the best friend.

I didn't quit when I could have. I have had 30 operations for mouth cancer. I have not eaten food for 4 1/2 years. I will never eat food again. I inject everything into my stomach feeding tube. Everytime you want to buy a pack of cigarettes, tuck it away. Then buy some gold jewelry or something tangible you can hold in your hand forever.

been there done that.

Nicotine is highly addictive -so yes, you can get addicted. Give it up while you can - it has no health or social benefits and it's very expensive.

I have been smoking around five cigarettes a week too and am not addicted. I do think though that smoking five cigarettes a week can probably lead to addiction.

Over time you may need more cigarettes. If you associate them with happy times or stress release you may condition yourself to want them more. As the answerer above me wrote, this is how everybody starts smoking.

Bro. You can get addicted by your first one.

Yes, you can become addicted and you can't control it. It will take over your life soon and you'll be sorry.

This is how everyone starts smoking! No one starts at a pack a day! quit now while it is easy!

been there

you sure can ..

the sad truth

NO ITS CALLED WILLPOWER

Since we're using all caps, PLEASE TELL ME WHERE "BEER, WINE & SPIRITS" INCLUDES CIGARETTES!?

Yes youwill that's what happened to me when I was 17. In 2 years I've tried to quit 7 times already.
