Smoking is now considered to be a disease called “tobacco addiction”, which, according to the World Health Organization's 10th International Categorization of Diseases, is diagnosed with F17, in the psychoactive substance addiction group. Tobacco addiction, like all other diseases, requires work on prevention, but also increasingly important treatment.
