If you are unable go for a whole day without suffering any discomfort, headaches, jitteriness, or thinking about cigarettes more than occasionally -- in other words, without fixating on the thought of having a smoke, you are addicted.

If you are fortunate enough to be able to do that now, please quit while you are ahead. Nicotine addiction is one of the most difficult to break, and if you are enjoying smoking you are well on the way to addiction, if you are not there already.

An addiction to cigarettes starts by smoking them. Cigarettes contain a chemical called nicotine. The nicotine triggers receptors in the brain and causes feelings of relaxation or pleasure. So after a while, when someone starts to feel stress, they have conditioned themselves to reach for a cigarette. There is both the physical addiction of the nicotine, and also the psychological factors. The psychological part include the habit of putting things in one's mouth, as well as factors such as stress, loneliness, boredom and nervousness leading the person to want a cigarette.

As a smoker myself, if you buy packs of cigarettes, you are addicted. If you think you aren't addicted, then stop smoking. Simple as that.

Yeah, try not buying anymore. If you find yourself going to the store and getting more against your will you are addicted. If you can stop from buying more you're ok. keep smoking till you can't stop.

You can tell they're addicted if they cannot quit. If they can quit, then they were never that addicted. Alternatively, if they can't go a few hours without a cigarette, they're addicted.

If you can't go a day with out it, or get grumpy that you cannot have it. It's the theobromines. They give you a lift like endorphins do.
