Answer by rosette
A habit for example could be a problem drinker. This means the person could stop if they wanted to or for certain times. An addiction is when a person cannot quit or has a very hard time doing so. In a drug addiction for example the body will react more to quitting although in both cases there will be health problems both in use and quitting.
