An addiction to tobacco is caused by a physical and psychological dependence for the chemicals found in the plant. When you use tobacco excessively, your body adapts and changes in order to accommodate this tobacco. Because of this, it begins to build a dependency on it, now that your body's "incorporating" it into it's system. Because of this, if you stop taking tobacco, it would be like if you stopped eating or sleeping (to a much lesser degree) because it's a bodily function that's not being satisfied. Therefore, your body craves it, creating an addiction.
