It is believed that the genetic aspects of addiction are related to the way peoples' brains handle neurotransmitters. For example, a person with genetically low levels of dopamine (the "pleasure chemical") or the inability to efficiently use dopamine might discover that a certain drug raises the level and makes him feel better -- without, of course, knowing exactly what happened.
If that person continues to use the drug to overcome the deficiency in dopamine production, there will come a time when the brain no longer produces it at anything like a sufficient level without the presence of the drug. At that point, ceasing drug use is no longer an option as far as that individual is concerned. They now need the drug to function normally. This can happen to people who start off with normal dopamine levels, as well, but they are rather less likely to seek the relief to begin with.
This is only one example. There are hundreds of neurotransmitters, and all of their functions are set genetically -- at least initially. The dopamine issue is a common one, but not by any means the only one.
Addiction is about mood-altering: changing the way we feel -- ultimately by changing our brain chemistry. We can do this by drugs, alcohol, physical activities, and just about any other behavior that is capable of taking us away from ourselves for a period of time. There are as many different potential addictions as there are things that will mood alter. More useful is this catch-all description of addictive behavior: something that you keep on doing even though it is causing life-changing consequences. This applies equally well to all addictive issues.
People may develop strange addictions due to a combination of genetic, environmental, and psychological factors. These addictions often serve as coping mechanisms for dealing with stress, trauma, or other underlying issues. Seeking professional help and support can be beneficial in addressing and managing these behaviors.
Some examples of neutral addictions could include routines such as exercising, reading, or gardening. These activities can be healthy and beneficial when done in moderation, but can become problematic if they begin to interfere with daily functioning or relationships.
This field of genetic research is known as 'behavioural genetics.' The relationship between genes and behaviour is a more complicated issue than the connection between genes and diseases.Although there seems to be an agreement that genes do have an indirect effect on behaviour, there have been suggestions that any attempt to understand how genes affect behaviour will fail.

An addictive personality refers to a set of traits or characteristics that may make an individual more susceptible to developing addictions. These traits can include impulsivity, an inability to cope with stress, sensation-seeking behavior, and difficulty regulating emotions. It's important to note that not everyone with these traits will develop an addiction, but they may be more at risk.
A peculiar environment can affect genes and their expressions
yes it can affect the coding of genes.
genes and the environment
There are many genes that could affect a person's weight. This is accomplished by suppressing certain fat burning genes in the body.
The dominant genes take over, and then the recessive genes hide away
Genes tell cells how to make proteins.
Yes, genetics can play a significant role in addiction. Research suggests that genes can influence a person's vulnerability to developing addiction, as they can affect how a person's brain responds to drugs or alcohol. While genetics can increase the risk of addiction, environmental factors also play a crucial role in determining whether someone develops an addiction or not.
