What is the biggest addiction? I was told it is addiction to sex, but this doesn’t sound right.
Off hand, I’d guess the addiction to nicotine is probably the largest, followed by alcohol, since those are the two most consumed substances world wide.
I suppose caffiene might rank pretty high up there, but I’m not sure how many of us would really consider pre-coffee/tea morning crankiness to be signs of withdrawal.
Breathing
I wouldn’t call breathing an addiction, namely because you need it for survival. You don’t need nicotine or alcohol for survival.
Are you talking legal or illegal additions? If it’s illegal I would guess crack cocaine or huffing, but I may be way off.
I depends what you mean by addictive, as it can be a subjective term, but the convention is that nicotine is the biggest addiction.
Wikipedia has more info on common addictions.
*that should be “It depends…”
:smack:
After reading the links above, is sex addiction even considered an addicition to the majority of experts in psychiatry or just a sympton of other disorders?
You might as well face it, you’re addicted to love.
By “biggest” do you mean most common, or most difficult to overcome?
Sorry, I meant most common.
“Biggest Addiction” is a great band name.
Eating. Yes, we all need this for survival too, I’m talking about over-eating.
I think the internet is creeping up there somewhere too.
