Part of the answer is a genetic predisposition to addiction. The more subjective part is that if you have something that can make you feel content or satisfied or happy just by smoking it or popping a pill or whatever your pleasure, you'll keep doing it because why not make do what makes you happy? The real casualty is your life after you've spent each day satisfying yourself with drugs and you someday try to figure out what actually makes you happy.

Also because certain substances in the drug lead to you being dependant on it and then leads further on to you being addicted.

While these are good reasons to take perscription medications, alot of the drugs that cure these ailments are habit forming due to their euphoric side effects.
