150 years ago the term addiction simply meant 'something which someone likes to engage in repeatedly'. Back then, if you told the average citizen that you believed a DRUG _caused_ an addiction, they would have laughed at you as they did most of those wackos in the temperance movement. Hell, even the people in the temperance movement didn't want to get rid of safe drugs like MORPHINE.
KellyD, if you are interested in this topic, a goog place to start is with what I'm currently reading, Stanton Peele's "Diseasing of America"--or trying to read because my concentration is that of a caffeinated 5-year-old and my doctor is so conservative that I have to wait out THREE WEEKS on 150mg of Wellbutrin just to go to 300. Oh yeah, this dose is really going to help my ADD. Right. Well, at least I knew enough to refuse the PROZAC he wanted to prescribe me to help my concentration. Man, how are these people board certified?
