I was quite addicted for years. The most I ever smoked was a pack and a half a day. The shakes take a while to show up at that level but they will show up after 8 hours or so. Back when you could afford it, I knew people that smoked 6 packs a day. Those people would get the shakes in 45 minutes if they weren’t smoking.

Everyone is different. I know a guy that goes from heroin for a few months, to cocaine for a few months, to booze for a few months, to clean for a few months all the time. For some reason he doesn’t get addicted to anything.
