A habit is an auquired behavior pattern. Spitting is a habit. Chewing your nails is a habit. Watching CSI is a habit. Smoking is an addiction. Addiction goes beyond repetition of a practice and into an enslavement to habit and the development of an irresistable need. Not only that, but a someone having a habit of chewing gum or biting their nails in the presence of other people can't trigger an asthma attack. I have bad asthma, and when I am around smoke, it triggers my asthma. I am not alone in this. My brother is the same way. Several of my friends also have this. Second hand smoke is not harmless, and to suggest that it is only an inconvenience exemplifies the meaning of this thread.
