if it's a drug, then of course it is!

answer#2:

it is, but it is most definitely less addictive than cigarette smoking. The nicotine is absorbed in far smaller quantities because it is not inhaled. the nicotine, which is the addictive substance in tobacco, is absorbed through the gums and mucus membranes of the mouth. However, I have been smoking pipes for a year and even though i smoke probably twice a week, I have not noticed any "addictive" habits. It really is a matter of self-discipline and being aware of how much of a substance you are taking into yourself. The act of smoking itself, and the ritual surrounding a smoking session is often what people get psychologically 'addicted' to meaning that they get attached to the hobby for its intrinsic qualities, and not for the chemical fix or a dependency. One person humorously put it like this: "I am not addicted to smoking, but I am 'addicted' to smoking pipes!"

Smoking is addictive due to the presence of nicotine, a highly addictive substance that affects the brain's chemistry.
