Each addiction can be called an abnormal behavior. It always results in both health and psychological disorder.
But activities and behaviors done occasionally only or out of professional ethics are not classified as addictions. Hence we can say that addiction is a disease. However, at the same time, there are lots of behaviors and activities that are adopted due to professional ethics or depend on the individual’s mood to get into occasionally behaviors.
Such activities and behaviors transform into habits and they finally lead to addiction. For example, such actions as smoking or drinking alcohol (even if done occasionally in some business meetings or family celebrations) constitute a hazardous source of being habitual and finally addictive.
But we must remember that there are lots of both social and psychological reasons that a person involves into habits such as smoking or excessive drinking. But these reasons are usually different for each person depending on their age groups and environmental factors, for example.
For example, a teenager who starts drinking alcohol or smoking may do it either because of the family environment (as an influence of his/her parents that are addicted to alcohol or inherited biologically), or because of some personal or physical and psychological frustration.
General fact is that when young people undergo major biological and hormonal changes leading to puberty and maturity, they often get sexually frustrated and begin to adopt hazardous habits such as smoking or drinking alcohol. However, there are some teenagers who are mature enough and due to a very young age are educated about these sudden changes in their physical feelings. , They try to burn their frustration by physical activities, instead of turning into things like alcoholism or smoking.
