Addiction - Does it exist or is it a state of the mind? by Saaim Khan

To smoke and drink, or not to do so, is not the headspring here. The question in fact, is the very nature of these indulgences. Why do we adhere to them so religiously? That is because they ar forms of pleasure that we study we cant do without. Nicotine is a relaxant of slightly sort and we wait to rely on it. Not knowing why, we think we argon hooked to them. Id like to concentrate much than towards smoking because that is what most teenagers argon into these days.

I pack a lot of friends that smoke and drink, and solely of them seem to debate that they are hooked onto it. Yet, I find it hard to debate since not only have I read, but seen, examples of masses quitting smoking and drinking after being indulged in it for more than a decade.

This leads me to think about the origin of addiction itself. in oneness case reading a psychologists journal, I came across one head-shrinker observing the following:

Insomniacs are, in most cases, people who have convinced themselves (subconsciously) that they do not need sleep, thus, suffer from the escape of it.

So, it is, in my view that addiction is a state of mind. I dont think it is prudent to include pages and pages of medical data, but I suppose everybody agrees that the pang and urge to have nicotine and alcohol is 75% based on psychological factors than that of physical. Only in cases of more severe drugs like heroin, could I agree that it is indeed an addiction of physical nature. Nevertheless, Id like to indicate that smoking and drinking are only choices we take to live by. Beyond that, they are null more than indulgences.

As I mentioned earlier, people who seem to have smoked...

I all told understand where you are coming from, however, i dont believe this screen has fair to middling of a backup for facts other then that one in the psychological journal.


It is true that Most addictions are caused by psychological factor but there is still some physical factor involved in it.


Over all I like this essay however i believe most of it is just plainly your opinion and there isnt enough support to back up your opinion. Otherwise very equitable :)
