Get used to + Be used to [on hold]
.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ margin-bottom:0;
}
I'd like to ask what the meaning of these two following sentences is:
- I am used to smoking
- I get used to smoking
It looks the same to me but what is the reason that we generate verbs by using “get”?
past-tense past-habitual

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.
This answer is great. Thank you so much!
