Can you get addicted just to the smoke from a cigarette?

Probably: Smoking is addicting. If you are around a lot of smokers, you might be inclined to smoke yourself. Obviously, you are not addicted to smoking until you start lighting them up and smoking them. Do not do this. Smoking does not make you a bad person as the media suggests, but smoking along with alcohol and drug abuse are the worst ills in our society. Leave them alone.
