Speaking only from my limited personal experience, yes. I'm counting nicotine as a drug. I've smoked for the best part of 25 years, and given up a few times, but it's so easy to relapse. Nicotine patches worked remarkably well in controlling the physical cravings, but the 'what to do with my hands' question was never answered. And the 'habits' - for instance, lighting up at the pub, when I'm having a beer with my mates. When I wasn't smoking, it just felt weird. Like something was missing. I associated having a cigarette in my hand with the socialising.

Ab-so-lute-ly!!!!
That is the meaning of addiction:
That it creates physiological withdrawal (in the absence of the substance), and psychological dependence.

I would imagine that it could. Seeing as how it affects the receptors in your nervous syystem, and make you feel euphoric..I'd say yes.
