Stop for 2 weeks and then you can say that your not addicted.

Have you tried not smoking? If so, how did you feel? Do people say you are moody or irritable? Could be you are mildly addicted.
Addiction is not black and white, but shades of gray. It may be you are not addicted yet or that you are only mild addicted at this time. You may soon find yourself wanting to smoke more and smoking more.
Many people don't think they are addicted, but they are. Caffeine is addictive and many caffeine drinkers don't think they are addicted, but get headaches when they stop the caffeine. That is a withdrawal symptom of caffeine. These same people find that only Excederine makes their headaches go away. One of the active ingredients is caffeine.

Your very young still. You truely have to smoke regularly for a few years or more to really get a strong addiction. 6 ciggs a day likey won't get you addicted for quite awhile. You'll know when you dont want to stop at 6, and then its 10, then its 15, and 1 day you'll havesmoked nearly a whole pack in one day. You dont want to get that far.

6 cigarettes a day is probably addiction. Just my thoughts. I used to smoke about that much and when I quit it was really hard. Your body goes through withdrawls from it and you get really anxious and irritable. I suggest you stop now so you may not have to go through that!
Oh yeah, and it's really bad for you too. I ended up quitting because I was getting pains in my lungs. Like spasms. I figured that couldn't be a good thing. Also I was getting winded easier.

lol.
if you've been smoking 6 cigarettes for the past month every day, and you say you do it "just when you feel like it" then good for you. I would try to stop for a month and then decide if your addicted or not.

Either your body is resistant enough to the nicotine that you haven't developed an addiction or you are addicted and don't realize it. Really, if you aren't addicted, that's a good thing because it will just make it that much easier to quit.

Funny - how often you feel like it - isn't it?
Maybe you should move up to 20 cigarettes next month.
Keep trying until you find the right addiction level.
Think of all the beers you could buy with that ciggie money.

Quit now! I've been smoking for 6 years and I've been trying to quit for a long time now. You have just started so its easy to put down. I would quit smoking now mane.
