I think you have an addictive personality if you are asking this question.
Why risk your health that way? Why take the chance?
Addiction is different for everyone.

Depends if you are talking physical or psychological.
Nicotine is very addictive and the body will want more after it is introduced to the system (for most people). However at low levels, unless you are easily psychologically addicted, it is easy to overcome.
So the answer is different for everyone. If they have low willpower it may happen very quickly, but for those without an addictive personality it may never happen.
Example...My father used to buy a pack of cigarettes once every few of months and smoke maybe half of them in two weeks. Then he would pitch them (or give them to me after I started). He did this on and off for years. I on the other hand taught myself to smoke and was probably addicted in a week. He had willpower against nicotine, I don't.
But I don't consider myself someone with addiction problems. I drink maybe one or two beers a week and have no issues with alcohol at all.
BTW I quit smoking 8 years ago when I got married. It was an easy choice, my wife or cigarettes. It bolstered my willpower and I quit cold.

Entirely depends on what sort of person you are. People with personalities predisposed to addiction will be addicted very quickly, other people can smoke one, ten, or a thousand and just put them down and not smoke again. I did so it can be done. I smoked during the war and when I got back I just quit cold turkey and didn't have a problem with them. Even today I can smoke one, enjoy it for what it is and not smoke or feel the need to for months.

The tobacco companies have known for years that it takes as few as four (that's 4) cigarettes to bring on an addiction to tobacco. That's why when you go to a drag race or a NASCAR event that's sponsored by the tobacco companies, they'll have these knock-your-eyes-out chicks handing out free samples - four cigarettes to a pack. And yeah, there'll be a few buff hunks handing 'em out to the female spectators, too.

it depends on the person. some people it only takes one some people will smoke for awile and never get addicted. that truth.com is the most retarted bunch of bullsh!t lies ever and so is wudafxup and debunkify. i have already caught debunkify in lies and wudafxup is morons too as well as liars. truth.com abuses animals to try make you think smoking is wrong but i would rather see someone smoke than abuse a dog. so dont listen to any of thier information.

Depends on how easily you become addicted to anything.
I do not have that capacity, and based on what I have heard about it am lucky and happy.
It also means, I know that not being able to be addicted is something one can have.

It took my father two cigarettes. He loved the effect so much he couldn't stop. He tells everyone the two cigarette story, scary stuff.
