Is smoking an addiction or a disease?

Smoking is actually an addiction repertoriated in the DSM-IV. The DSM-IV is a reference book for clinicians (psychologists) with includes classification of mental disorders, their characteristics, etc. Among these disorders, you can find addictions.


What does addiction include?

It depends what kind of addiction you are talking about. Some addictions, like an alcohol addiction or a crystal meth addiction, have unique characteristics like one's teeth falling out, or cirosis of the liver. However, in a broad aspect, addiction can include anti-socialism, lack of motivation/loss of goals or ambitions, extreme temper changes/mood swings, noticeable change in attitude and demeanor, and - most obviously - excessive indulgence into that which you are addicted to. If there are more questions you may have about addiction, check out the "Addiction Dictionary" I included in the "Related Links" Section. Hope This helped!
