  15. Smoking occasionally doesn't mean you're not addicted to nicotine.On the contrary,dependency to nicotine is present even though you smoke once or twice a month.It's already an addiction.And little by little,you'll increase the quantity of cigarettes per month,day and so on.In other words,dependency appears sooner than we think
