FaceBook lately has been considered to be the third most addictive thing in a recent list that was published in UK. There were only the likes of coffee and chocolate ranked above this social networking site. There was a recent study conducted that involved 3000 people under the age of 30 and was specially made to correspond with the launch of ‘Rehab’ on Living channel. They made an effort to track down the 10 most popular addictions.

FaceBook is the most contemporary addiction and is not far behind the very addictive coffee and chocolate; however, it is amazing to see that even celebrity gossips as well as the Blackberry/iPhone have a mention in the list. All the participants involved in the research were required to answer the necessary questions on these substances and the habits that they tend to spend the most on. They were also asked to quit and their impulses were measured thereafter. Distinguished in their approach are the cigarettes and alcohol that suggested a denial were also a part of such a research.

A majority of people have successfully admitted that they are addicted to what’s called the ‘FaceBook Suicide’. The list also features the other modern addictions such as the beauty products, junk food, checking bank accounts, celebrity gossips, exercise and retail therapies.
