Smokers will often say that they are not addicted to cigarettes. These people think of smoking as a
habit which they can control and would be able to stop at any time. While, it is true that some
people can stop smoking at will (most cannot), it must be recognised that smoking is in fact an
addiction, much like an addiction to alcohol, heroin or cocaine. Furthermore, smoking is addictive
because nicotine, a substance that when given to monkeys, rats, dogs and even squirrels will
precipitate chemical dependency in them. Cigarette addiction is the result of a complex interaction
between the smoker (host), nicotine and the environment. For the host, factors such as personality,
educational level and social setting are important. Smokers tend to associate certain situations or
moods with smoking. These associations become cues that reinforce patterns of smoking. Having
a cigarette with coffee, after dinner or while stressing out over a job are a common habits among
smokers and these become associations that provoke craving for cigarettes. note making
