Addiction will not be a problem for you unless you expose yourself to the ingestion of nicotine at some time in the future.
PSYCHOLOGICAL DEPENDENCE
Psychological Dependence is more a state of mind and will probably cause the least of your problems in quitting or staying off of tobacco products.
Think of Psychological dependence as a child's security blanket. You may have a real fear of giving up tobacco because you think you can't get along without tobacco. Just as a child has a fear of going out without its security blanket or going to bed without its teddy bear. This is more a lack of confidence or fear of failure. You will get over this aspect of your need for tobacco about as quickly as you'll get past your tobacco withdrawal symptoms ... in a matter of a few days. Psychological dependence is more likely to show itself as an anxiety over not having a pack of cigarettes where you can get to them easily as being deprived of your smoking. It is something like an angina patient who has an attack because he realizes he doesn't have his nitro glycerin tablets with him. Just having them in his pocket where he knows he can get at them if he needs them is enough to hold off many attacks. That is what psychological dependence means.
Confidence is what is necessary to get past psychological dependence.
HABITUATION....
Habituation or habit is your toughest obstacle.
