What's Addiction?

Addiction

Say: uh-DIK-shun

An addiction is a very strong urge to do something that is hard to control or stop. If you use cigarettes, alcohol, or drugs like marijuana (weed), cocaine, and heroin, you could become addicted to them. They can really hurt you and could even kill you.
