Answer 9

Though it may not be the healthiest of meals McDonald's is not addictive in the medical sense. This requires the development of tolerance and the experience of withdrawal.

Nicotine however sets up complex addiction pathways in the brain that are long lasting and difficult to break down.

Answer 11

Nicotine is the main reason -- it's as addictive as any drug known. There are also some other addictive compounds in the smoke. After that, it's mostly genetics -- some people don't get addicted at all, some get heavily addicted. As you might expect people who get a nice effect from it the first time they try it are more likely to get hooked but, curiously, so are those who get nauseous when they first smoke, because it means they're more sensitive to nicotine.
