AbdulSalam's Struggle: A Story of Pain

I don't smoke I never liked it for once but I have a friend who does, his name is Abudulsalam.

AbdulSalam was always cheerful, but smoking changed him. No matter how much I begged him and talked to stop, he couldn't break free. Sometimes Our talks turned into fights, and this made us drift apart. One day I heard he was sick and I went to visit him in the hospital and he told me he was diagnosed of cancer of the lungs and that he should have listened to me when i advised him but it was already too late for him, He passed away and it was a really sad moment for me and his family.

Do you know why and How do people become addicted to cigarettes smoking?
