I'd like to ask what the meaning of these two following sentences is:




  1. I am used to smoking

  2. I get used to smoking


It looks the same to me but what is the reason that we generate verbs by using “get”?

          Note that the second sentence wouldn't normally be phrased in the way that you've phrased it. Depending on the tense, it would more commonly take one of these forms:




          I will get used to smoking.

          I am getting used to smoking.

          I got used to smoking.







          1. I am used to smoking.




          This is a simple statement of fact.




          2. I get used to smoking.




          This describes an activity, a process that you engage in. Once you have finished getting used to smoking, you will be used to smoking.
