Yes and no. Same idea, different situation, obviously. When you're addicted to the Internet, it is possible to go through "withdrawal" when you're not on it, just like you would if you're addicted to smoking and suddenly quit. The only difference is, addiction to the Internet is purely mental, while cigarette addiction is mental as well as physical. Signs you might be addicted to the Internet include: -Thinking about it virtually non-stop when you're not on it -Irritability when unable to use it -Putting the Internet in front of other important tasks, other people, or even your own needs (example: knowing you have to go out and find a job but you dont because you just "cant" get offline). -Inability or unwillingness to sign offline -Staying online even if you're exhausted/starving And just like with smoking, you cant stop using even though you are aware it's harming you. It's possible to become addicted to almost anything you find pleasurable, though. If you think about it, everyone is addicted to something.
