∙ 10y agoThe most common lifestyle disease is smoking, and then after that drinking. They are not diseases in themselves but they are responsible for most of the diseases of lifestyle that develop, like cancer from tobacco use, including chewing and pipe smoking.
If you get withdrawls when you quit, it can be considered an addiction, and tobacco is one of the most difficult to break. With that justification, I think that an addiction to nicotene can be a disease. SO there.
