Abstract
There is no uniformity in the use of the terms habituation, addiction, intense desire, and craving. V. Petran (19) talks of craving as the irresistible desire to acquire a drug and the impossibility of abstaining from it. Craving may be manifested immediately after first consumption, but addiction represents a regular use, from which craving may develop in time.This publication has 6 references indexed in Scilit:
