Narrative inquiry was used to explore the meaning of nicotine addiction among teenage girls, age 14 to 17 years, who had recent experience with smoking. The following three narratives emerged: invincibility, giving in, and unanticipated addiction. Those who told a story of invincibility depicted how they were in control of their smoking and not addicted. Participants who gave accounts of giving in to smoking described yielding to external forces. In the narrative of unanticipated addiction, participants recounted their surprise at realizing that they were addicted. Two subnarratives, needing to quit and repeating history, were also uncovered. The study findings reveal the importance of semantics and identity issues as teenage girls talked about nicotine addiction. Listening to their stories is paramount in continued efforts in the reduction of tobacco consumption
