If you want food, you're hungry; if you want drink, you're thirsty; if you want sex, you're horny. What are you if you want a cigarette?

It's not an adjective, but I've known folks to say they were "jonesing" for a cigarette. From the phrase "have a jones for" something.

Dear tsuwm: I couldn't find definition of "capnotic" The nearest I could come was "acapnia"/

Acapnia: Less than the normal level of carbon dioxide in the blood. The opposite of
hypercapnia.The origin of the word “acapnia” is curious. It comes from the Greek “a-“
meaning “without” + “kapnos” meaning “smoke” so acapnia literally means “smokeless”
referring to carbon dioxide which is a principal part of smoke.

For a guess, "capnotic" might mean short of breath from excessive smoking.
