Addiction is genetic


I disagree. You aren’t born needing caffeine, tobacco, cocaine, etc.

Sorry didn't mean to imply some people are born addicts to specific substances. More that there is a genetic influence in people's potential for becoming addicts. Some people are pre-disposed to becoming an addict and others that can drink booze, smoke cigarettes, etc without becoming an addict.

that's not what it means when someone says it genetic. The brain chemistry that triggers addiction in most is acquired through genetic predispositions

Sugar should replace caffeine on your list. I’m not even sure caffeine is addictive.
