The #1 symptom of heroin addiction is a compulsion to ingest heroin on a regular basis.
The method of ingestion may be snorting it, smoking it, or shooting it. The frequency can be anywhere between once or twice a day, or 4, 5, 6, times a day and more.
If you spend a day at the beach or at a park with him, and you're there for 8 hours, and he doesn't start to get really antsy to get home, I would bet that he's not hooked on heroin. (Either that, or he keeps his "kit" with him and is fixing when you're not looking. Be careful--junkies can be sneaky!)
A true heroin addict will be in withdrawal when he first wakes up in the morning and will run to his stash to fix up. In his mind, time will be of the essense at that point more than any other time. I don't know if you live with him or even sleep with him, but if you do, that's a huge clue.
Casual users however are different. They use on the weekends then stop for a while, buying into common fallacies like "only dumb people get hooked" and "I can keep this under control." If he's a casual user it's very hard to know just by observing him. It could be anybody, from your schoolbus driver to your best friend, you just can't tell. Once the addiction really sinks it's claws into them, that's when you see the obvious symptoms, provided that you know what to look for.

Easily? not a chance heroin users are the best lairs in the entire world.
exjunky is right but first you may notice he will distance himself from his friends he wont "feel like" doing normal activities
Look in his eyes this is the only honest part of a junky his pupils will be small all the time.
