A member asked:
Can you get addicted to smoking without inhaling ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
I don't know 4 sure: I'm 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.
