The person with a tobacco dependence
The leaf of the tobacco plant has been used as a drug for
centuries. It can either be chewed (such as gutka in India) or
smoked (in the form of cigarettes).
People start using tobacco for the same reasons as they start
drinking. Peer pressure in school, being influenced by
advertising by cigarette companies, and a belief that smoking is
trendy or ‘cool’ are common reasons for starting smoking. Once
smoking has begun, it quickly becomes a dependence because tobacco
contains nicotine, a highly addictive drug. Nevertheless, many teenage smokers who are only experimenting will not become dependent on tobacco.
