Silly,
Sometimes, we need to really look at ourselves in the mirror because sometimes, we answer our own questions.

I don't [u]think[/u] i have reached the stage of becoming an addict but [u]if i continue like this i will sure end up one[/u]. I want your advice if there are any sources for the people who have low [u]nicotine addiction[/u] yet they [u]want to quit because they fear of becoming addicts[/u] . I have done yr questionnaire and several ones and i always score very low on nicotine addiction.

Very-low addiction, Low-level addiction, Mid-level addiction, High-level addiction. Now tell me ... Which one is NOT an addict?
[b]ADDICT[/b]
1 : to devote or surrender to something habitually or obsessively
2 : to cause addiction to a substance (as in, continuing to smoke).
Do you know the signs of an addict/addiction?

Denial... because if you have ANY level of addiction... You are already an addict.

yet I am scared and i want you all to scare me more . I need to feel that smoking even few cigarites can kill me . even if it is one a day coz one a day will increase with time.

The realization that a real problem exists.
Silly, the answers for controlling all levels of nicotine addiction are the same. I don't think scaring you into quitting or remaining quit is what works because fear is short term... but here's a reminder...
Smokers that smoke as few as 1-10 cigarettes per week significantly alter the brain chemistry. Once this chemistry changes, it is very difficult to reverse, creating cravings typical of addiction. With each inhalation, nicotine starts a multitude of harmful and drastic changes in the body. It acts within 7 seconds, faster and more potent than hardlining heroin. With each inhale, you are creating a monster that will kill you.
Close your eyes and try for a few moments to imagine
