[QUOTE="HaoZi, post: 411457"] Have I known people who did such things only every now and then? Yes. But I'm not in touch with them now, haven't been for years, so I can't say that it never became an addiction. Have I known people that managed to quit crack or heroin on their own? Yes, I have. But they were addicts. I do know people that only smoke when they drink, and don't drink that often. I know people that only smoke a couple cigarettes in the evening, and they're not new to smoking by any means. Being able to "handle it" I think for most people means that they can stay functional, it doesn't interfere with their relationships, jobs, etc. There may well be people whose brain chemistry doesn't allow them to become addicted just as there are people whose chemistry makes them easily addicted, but I think they're the exception.
