Smoking

How many time do you actually have to smoke to get addicted?
I've smoked a few times and never really gotten 'addicted'.

I've always wondered this, some people say 1 :S but I haven't tried it so, I dunno

I've smoke twice but I'm not addicted and I don't plan to be addicted though

A few times but never addicted, I was about 12 (with all my friends) so I don't think i knew how to do it properly thinking about it

Youll have to smoke quite a few to get addicted and start doing it daily.

I only ever smoke after i've been drinking and even then its only one or two. Never will be addicted.

Both my parents smoke, my grandfather died from smoking, my mindset forbids me from trying it for fear of addiction.

Some people are more prone to addiction (to anything) than others. I smoke from time to time, usually when I go out, but never had any cravings

This.

I've never tried it as I fear I'll get addicted and I don't want that.

I'm not stupid so I haven't tried it.

I smoke ~10 a day. I'm fairly sure you'd call me addicted. If I don't smoke for say a day, I'll be short-tempered. There was no moment I was suddenly addicted, it doesn't work like that. There's no way to quantify it.
