A member asked:
Can someone be addicted to nicotine if you grew up around it but never smoked?

I do not know 4 sure: I am not sure, it depends on how much you are exposed to smoke. If you are breathing in smoke (2nd hand smoke) frequently and come from a family that has had trouble with addictions, it seems like it could be possible. If we can get lung cancer from 2nd hand smoke, perhaps we can become addicted, too. Do you try to be around smokers all the time even though you do not smoke?
