Smoking!
My friend thinks that she is addicted to smoking, but she has only been smoking for about a week. Could she really be addicted or is she being stupid!!?

She's being stupid. People say it only takes a puff for someone to be addicted, when infact that isn't true. She's probably not even inhaling the damn thing. Just make sure you do something for her before a week turns into a month. Smoking isn't worth it in the long run and make sure you help her out (not yelling @ her or telling her you're not goign to talk to her if she continues) but just letting her know that it's not too late and it's not worth and it will bring her down in so many different aspects in life.

She could most definitely be addicted! It only takes 2 cigs.

It really just depends on how much she smokes.

Nicotine is a highly addictive drug, and some people who use it can become addicted relatively quickly. However, your friend is definitely being a little melodramatic if she claims she is addicted after one week. She can, and should, drop the habit before her claims actually begin to have merit.

Well perssonaly I would tell your friend to kick the habit right away because its just not worth it. My Grandad died of smoking and it was to late for him because he had been doing it for almost 50 years but its not to late for your friend and its not a fun way to die eather.

well she's both! smoking is stupid whether your addicted or not! she should stop and if she doesnt want to, you need to talk to her if you still want her to be your friend. If she is your friend she will listen to you. if she doesnt, tell an adult, or dont hang out with her n e more, that would be the same exact move i would make.

Well you have to talk to your friend or give him/her a candy siggarett instead

People can get addicted during the first instance. It really depends, but as a friend, you should really get her to quit.

I don't know if yor friend is really addicted or if she's really acting stupid, but you need to talk to her about smoking . I get tired of hearing people telling me not to smoke , but it can give you cancer . So talk to yah girl about smokin because, you could save your friend from a terrible fate which others have recieved . Peace and get back in touch .

Your friend probably has it into her head that shes addicted to the nicotine in cigarettes. Yes she is being stupid for having smoked in the first place.
Its expensive, gross, makes your teeth and fingernails yellow, gives you horrendous breath, sagging wrinkles on your face, can develop emphazema, and the very common lung cancer.
Its going to kill her, one way or another if she does not quit.
The money thing is disgusting - it is so expensive.
For example:
A pack of cigarettes where I live costs 8$ on average.
Lets say your friend smokes only a pack a week (which is pretty minimal compared to people who smoke a pack a day)
In 1 month that is 32$, in two months 64$ BUT now she is going to up how much she smokes because the more you smoke, the more you want a cigarette (because of the addictive poisons in cigarettes)
SO lets say shes upped her cigarette intake to a pack a day.
thats 56$ a week. 224$ a month. 3024$ after 54 weeks.
Lets say she continues smoking for another 20 years. After 20 years she dies from lung cancer.
So after 20years she has spent $60,480 on cigarettes alone. And what is reward? Death.
Make your friend quit this thing now.
Even if she isnt addicted yet, she will be very soon.

Some people can get addicted to smoking but any professional will say its impossible because your body needs the craving not your mind. I said I was addicted to coffee after 2 days because I drank it alot, same with youir friend she thinks she is addicted because she can smoke. But if she keeps smoking she will be addicted.

Nicotine is a very addictive drug. She could easily be addicted. And yes she is also being stupid. Smoking is discusting habit. It's unatractive, makes your and everything you own stink, is unhealthy, and expensive. I don't understand why people do it.

Your friend could become addicted to smoking; Nicotine is the addictive substance in cigarettes. It's easier to quit in the beginning. The longer you smoke for, the harder it is to quit; but you probably won't be able to MAKE her quit. She'll have to do that of her own accord.

The chemicals [especialy niccoteen] in ciggarets and cigars are very addictive. If you are worried about your friend then I suggest to find a clinic or pharmacy where you can pick up some leeflets that contain more information on ciggaret addiction and ways of getting over it.
Good luck :)
