An open question....

Yeah......

Has anyone taken into consideration that smoking cigarettes and the idea of addiction is for the most part a social contrivance? I'm not disputing all the facts and research over nicotine dependance, but an equal number of facts show that the psychological dependance on the habit is far more difficult to break than the physical. Why is it so hard to conceive a person smoking a cigarette here or there, without being completely addicted? It could just be me rationalizing my addiction, but on the same note I don't think it's that far off. What do you guys think?
