just saying dude, it's a terrible habbit to start, shoudl quit while you're ahead, i can't say whether you're addicted or not, only you are qualified to make that choice... just stay on top of it... it's not exactly a pretty or glamorous road to go down.. waste all your money, don't even get high or and elated feeling from it... bleh... i'll quit 'bothering' you with it... in the end it's always your choice... just make sure you stay on top of it, for years later you'll end up like me, regretting you ever started in the first place.
