Smoking just one cigarette can cause tabacco addiction in some people, according to a study published yesterday. Medical researchers asked 96K youngsters aged 14-15 to fill in questionnaires about whether they smoked and whether they felt the need to continue smoking.

Those who smoked frequently replied, as expected, that they felt the urge to continue smoking. But what surprised the investigators was the number of infrequent smokers who also reported a craving, said the New Zealand study.

46% of those who smoked less than one cigarette a month said they had diminished control over the urge to smoke. Even more remarkable was that among the teenagers who said they found it hard to repress an urge to smoke, 10% had the impulse within 2 days of smoking their first cigarette and 25% within one month of that event.

To calibarate any dependence on tobacco, the questionnaire, which was issued via schools between 2002 and 2004, included such questions as "Do you even have strong cravings to smoke?", "Do you smoke now because it is really hard to quit?" and "Did you find it hard to concentrate because you couldn't smoke?"

The responses confirm previous reserach showing addiction rises as more cigarettes are smoked, and sets in soon after the first puffs. Indeed, "these data suggest that smoking one cigarette in total can prompt a loss of autonomy," says the report published in the Elsevier journal, Addictive Behaviors.

in 2004, a study among 1.3K 13-year-olds in canada found evidence that those with variants of the CYP2A6 gene that mops up nicotine in the liver were far likelier to be hooked on smoking.

Smoking kills about five million people a year, with female smokers and those in developing countries the most vulnerable group
