The other cause is that Meth literally eats things in your body - like your teeth and tends to dissolve the roots that go and nourish your teeth. Also - with meth - eats a little part of your brain the first hit (or whatever) according to recent scientific reports. And that causes your brain to instantly want more. Scientific fact - instantly causes an addiction. (This is not to say that everyone that does meth will automatically become addicted - but the statistics are rather high that you will. If I remember correctly I think it was something like 70% of the tested subjects.)
