Best Answer

Because of harsh chemicals that enter you system and if you smoke on a daily bases your body becomes addicted to the nicotine and will be hard for it to leave your body.

The definition of "addictive" was changed to include smoking by Tobacco Control. By doing this, they could vilify smokers as "addicts". Before this, smoking was considered a "habit".

A similar example happened in 1998 when the US Government reduced the values of BMI for being classified as 'overweight' and 'obese'. Overnight 30 million Americans suddenly became overweight and another 20 million obese!
