social media addiction

[TopDog]

A new report says that social media sites can be more addictive than alcohol or nicotine. While I find that a little hard to swallow, I do know a lot of people who would show withdrawl symptoms were they separated from their social media for any length of time.

It's different. Nicotine and alcohol are chemically addictive, where the body can experience harsh physical symptoms if they're taken away. Social media is more psychologically addictive, I think, if such a phrase even exists.
