Yes, cigarettes are quite addictive- over the years they've added more ingredients that are hamrful, but also as a way to keep people addicted. Even though I quit smoking like 3 years ago, on a handful of occasions I've found myself bumming cigarettes- usually when I've been drinking. I even bought a pack that lasted me for a year- smoking rarely- which I hear is actually worse- I heard recently that once you open a pack of cigarettes- the longer it goes without being smoked, the more carcinogenic it is. So finally, a little over a week ago I bought myself a vape pen and tobacco oil- at least this way I'm not smoking if I get the urge . . . .
