Is it possible to become addicted to cigarettes by being around the smoke too much?

Answer 1

im a smoker and first had smoke is worse because it is going directly into your lungs, and second hand smoke is not as bad becasue it has been exhaled already and it is also a smaller amont that actually makes it into your lungs. just stay away from smokers and you will be good, but my advise to you is never ty smokeing ever it is very adicting and you will die early. if a healthy person lived up to 80 then they started smoking , they would probally die around 65. :( not good at all

Answer 2

The addictive properties of tobacco are primarily related to the Nicotine. The person smoking gets a substantially heavier dose of that than those subjected to second-hand smoke - which is significantly diluted by the rest of the air. It would likely take considerably more exposure than most people experience to get the addictive effects from second-hand smoke. Likely it would take staying in smoke filled room with dense smoke for prolonged periods on a regular basis to get the addictive effects. That's not to say the second hand smoke is harmless, just that you are not likely to get addicted from normal exposure to it

==========

No. The tobacco would have no way of getting into your system unless the room was completely filled with smoke. However, you may begin to enjoy the smell of cigarettes, which could lead to cigarette addiction if you choose to start.

==========

The above is true, but fails to address the most important point:

"Can second hand smoke effect the heath of the person breathing it"

And the answer to that is "Oh yes".

==========

My ex-girlfriend is no longer effected by my smoke, and both know that.

smoking make you breath harder and did you know that smoking takes two seconds off your life and you suppose to live to be 100.

all this is true but tobacco itself is not addictive its actually nicotine that's inside of it making you have cravings for them

==========

The above statement was rather poorly written...

I am a smoker, and I always smoke away from other people. My parents always smoked in the house, so maybe it does go towards addiction or more cravings to start. Breathing ordinary atmospheric air is a HARM! You see anti-smoking junk science is just that when the truth hits you and destroys 60 years of Propaganda its a hard hit to take.......... Yet a simple look at the chemistry shows us that its: About 90% of secondary smoke is composed of water vapor and ordinary air with a minor amount of carbon dioxide. The volume of water vapor of second hand smoke becomes even larger as it quickly disperses into the air,depending upon the humidity factors within a set location indoors or outdoors. Exhaled smoke from a smoker will provide 20% more water vapor to the smoke as it exists the smokers mouth. 4 % is carbon monoxide. 6 % is those supposed 4,000 chemicals to be found in tobacco smoke. Unfortunatley for the smoke free advocates these supposed chemicals are more theorized than actually found.What is found is so small to even call them threats to humans is beyond belief.Nanograms,picograms and femptograms......

(1989 Report of the Surgeon General p. 80). You get about as much nicotine from SHS/ETS as youd get eating nicotine laden foods like tomatoes and potatoes or ICED TEA!
