Consider this:
Nicotene is one of the most addictive substances known to man, it rivals even herion in it's addictive properties.
Everybody is different, but also remember that there are two components of addiction: physical and psychological. Although it is highly unlikely that one would become addicted after a few cigarettes it is entirely possible.

Different depending the person, I smoke for about 6 yr before I was ever really addicted. Now I hate to even try and quit

Well, personally, I have three days a week to smoke. But each of those days, I have about...three. Then I can go about a week and a half without one then I feel really strange...almost...anxious? My hands start shaking and I feel like I'm going to puke. That's when I can tell I need a cigarette. So I guess it really does depend on the person.

It only took my wife a pack over 3 days to become addicted.

It's not so much a question of "how many," but of "how long." It can take longer depending on who you are. For me, it took maybe a week, but my brother says that it took him months to get to the point where he felt like he really needed them.

The same number of drinks it takes you to become an alcoholic.
There is no answer for either question.

It depends. Everyone would have a different figure. Just like some people get drunk after one drink, others can go a while without feeling a thing. The same is with smoking. Everyone's body reacts differently. But i would advise not to smoke at all!

There is no number.
It could be a single puff from a single cigarette, it could be a thousand boxes...
I think almost everyone that smokes becomes addicted on some level, because at first although they may not be 'addicted', they may consciously enjoy smoking, so they keep doing it, then eventually their body actually becomes addicted to it and they have a LOT of trouble stopping again.
If you're worried about becoming addicted, DON'T SMOKE, it could happen at any time depending on your body...

It's all in the mind, there are not really a realistic criteria or formula to work this out, it is totally up to you!

You can't put a definite figure on it. you could chain-smoke 20 packets and not be addicted, or have one a day for three weeks and be unable to stop. It's non-quantifiable, as everyone had different addiction thresholds. Nice question, though.
