Question by Angie: why do almost all addicts and alcoholics smoke?
I live in a sober living with 10 other women and all of them smoke. It is rare that an addict or alcoholic don’t smoke. why is this?

Best answer:

Answer by Nemesis
Because addicts, by definition, have addictive personalities.

Cigarettes are addictive, and therefore fit with people who have addictive personalites.

Additionally, people who become addicts, by nature, have less of a concern than others about what they put in their body. Because of that, they’re more prone to try that cigarette for the first time.
