No drug addict is an addict due to moral deficiency? I find that people's individual circumstances vary dramatically.

- Retric 8y agoSome people simply don't get addicted to the same drugs despite similar usage habits as others. So I suspect susceptibility to addiction is almost purely a function of biology. That's not to say people can't get past the handicap, but IMO it's not even close to a level playing field. Personally, I have zero attraction to alcohol and drink something like 3-5 times a decade. However, even a brief exposure to cigarettes as a teen as in less than a single pack was enough to get a very strong craving. I responded to that by avoidance, but even 20 years later I still have a craving it simply never went away. However plenty of people have the reverse reactions with heavy alcohol addiction.
