Impossible, as I`ve never touched the stuff and never will.

Impossible. Because I'd never start in the first place.

Likely. I'm not sure you can get addicted to the (pipe) tobacco I'm smoking. I had a smoke last night, but it was the first time in two weeks or so. It's been like that for the past year, averaging between three nights in a row and not for three weeks.

Very unlikely now, but I did used to smoke so I would say I have addictive tendacies

Very unlikely. I smoke one cigarette about three times a year, because I enjoy the wee buzz when I'm drunk. I have never desired another cigarette outwith those times. I've smoked lots of joints without ever feeling the need for another smoke.

Since I avoid tobacco almost entirely, I think it's very unlikely.

unlikely at this point

I've tried tobacco a few times and didn't really enjoy it or get much out of it. So, it seems very unlikely to me.
I haven't tried chewing, maybe that will be the thing that really works for me!

Chewing is extremely addictive. Ask anyone who chews, they get this wild look in their eye when they say 'they can't quit'.

It seems most replys are from those who do not smoke.

Well, I am a statistician..but..I do not have nearly enough time, nor enough money to devote to actually giving you an exact percentage. But because I am mighty good at hypothesizing...I will say 41%...which is equivalent to..neither likely nor unlikely.
But yes, do not go smoking 12 packs a day to test it. Just trust me, the statistician.

But for me, impossible. I'm a superhuman. The laws of statistics don't apply to me.

Addictions are fodder for denial.

If I were to administer it to myself, very likely. But I'm very much unlikely to do that, so very unlikely.

I have no idea. I think the smoke itself would put me off. I have never smoked tobacco, so I don't know what it is like. I'm guessing it makes you more alert and focused.
Why aren't there OTC drugs that do the same thing, to the same degree, but without the smoke? It it just the feeling it gives you that's addictive, or is it also the hand-mouth thing (same as an addiction to food)?

I'm impulsive, out of control, and indecisive. I'm also unstable. Yes. One breath and I'll be in it for a lifetime. I'd like to smoke cigars, not cigarettes.

Very unlikely (impossible) since I don't like tobacco products. They are bad for your health and expensive, especially cigarettes. I have nothing against anyone who uses tobacco products, but I prefer to stay as healthy as possible and have better things to do with my money.

Well I tried tobacco a couple of times but never got to like it... Tobacco is one of the few vices I never took up... So I do smoke but not tobacco...

I use a pipe. It's just some nondescript brand - I can't buy tobacco yet so I need to rely on my unreliable tobacco source to pick it out for me.

Are they strict about the age restriction where you live?

I remember being underage and sometimes I could get away with buying cigarettes, but buying liquor was next to impossible.

It's only recently been put up from 16, so it's been strict the past few months, but I think it may be relaxing now. It's definitely harder to get alcohol.

I haven't had a cigarette since February.

But dammit, I'd love one right now.

Tobacco is a dirty weed: I like it.
It satisfies no normal need: I like it.
It makes you thin, it makes you lean,
It take the hair right off your bean;
It's the worst darn stuff I've ever seen:
I like it.

I've smoked cigarettes before years ago, but it was no problem for me to just stop doing it. So I'd say "unlikely."

I almost clicked "Impossible" but I eschew extremes. I have never tried tobacco in any form but as it is an addictive substance, one 'taste' and, in theory, I could get hooked.
