Well coffie isn't good for you either.
But all that is actaully beside the point.
People will always do things they enjoy. The real problem is, that some things they feel like they must enjoy, otherwise they won't fit in the society. That's peer preasure. That's much worse that any addiction. You can't get addicted to anything just by trying it once. But if you are under the preasure to try something again and again and again you will get addicted to it - maybe the organism won't, but the brains will.
Ever hear someone say they need a drink to calm down? Or they just had to smoke that cigarete? Or they just had to get that shot? Or they just had to cut their wrists?
It's the programing - brain washing. The society (and media) makes you think you need to do something and after a while you just start copying something you see. You stop thinking about it - and then you're addiceted - to anything.
This goes for all things. That's how anorexy starts... And this goes even for exercise. I know a guy who wouldn't go to the doctor, because he just had to run 3 miles daily - even with a broken leg. He didn't know it was broken - it just hurted really bad after he fell on ice. But he said: "the doctor would tell me to stay off my feet for a while and I couldn't run anymore. But I have to run to stay in shape." He was luck they could save hit leg. It got really ugly after a few days. He almost had a nervous brake down when he had to lay in the hospital for two weeks and couldn't even walk - let alone run.
