ADDICTION
Use of tobacco, alcohol,
and other drugs can start a process called an addiction. Drug addiction
includes a craving for the drug and taking action to obtain and use the
drug despite negative consequences. Increased tolerance becomes part of an
addiction when larger amounts of the drug are required to achieve the same
effect. When an addictive drug is stopped, withdrawal symptoms almost
always follow. Some believe that addiction goes beyond a user's
voluntary control and becomes a “disease.” A person who is
addicted is typically called an addict or alcoholic. Not everyone who uses
tobacco, alcohol, or other drugs becomes addicted. For pornography
addiction see
Pornography.
