Results for Hobby or Addiction

[nsfisher]

First, I would like to thank all the members who participated in this little survey. It was quite a bit of fun reading all the replies. A few posts I had to "Read between the Lines" so to speak to determine the answer. I divided the replies into 3 categories; Habit, Addiction and Unsure or Undecided. The results, out of 49 reponses, are as follows:
Addiction 17 posts = 35%

Hobby 25 posts = 51%

Undecided 7 posts = 14%

hab·it1    /ˈhæbɪt/ Show Spelled[hab-it]

noun

1. an acquired behavior pattern regularly followed until it has become almost involuntary: the habit of looking both ways before crossing the street.

2. customary practice or use: Daily bathing is an American habit.

3. a particular practice, custom, or usage: the habit of shaking hands.

4. a dominant or regular disposition or tendency; prevailing character or quality: She has a habit of looking at the bright side of things.

5. addiction, especially to narcotics (often preceded by the ).
I voted for "Hobby" Not Habit. A Habit is another word for addiction.

@Spartan
You are so correct mate. Thanks for pointing that out, it was supposed to be Hobby and not Habit. My mind must have been in a wondering state when I wrote that. Corrections have been made.

Those that are unsure should try going without the pipe for a few days/weeks and then they'll know. ::
