Please tell me how long it takes for to get addicted to cigarettes?

One cigarette?: Once is enough for some people. After they are addicted they would say this in hindsight. Subtle chemical changes, mood changes and especially memory can make that first use powerful. 1/4-1/3 of people who ever smoke become addicted, this is higher than any other drug. If you never use the substance, you can't become addicted.
