Are cigarettes really as addictive as some people make them out to be?

im a big believer in the psychosomatic aspect of things so i cant help but think that some people milk it and make themslves more addicted than they really are. also, if cigarettes are so addicting, how are there social smokers out there who smoke every now and then but never get that “craving” like so-called ‘smokers’ get? i myself have had my share of cigarettes and am not addicted at all. i mean sure, i’ll want one but its the same feeling like when i want a cheeseburger or a taco.
