I am not really a gambler but I heard about people who can't quit it and keep losing lots of money. Do you think the attitude to gambling addiction should be the same as to drug addiction?
Should the government forbid gambling and treat somehow those who are addicted?
Or maybe it should be left up to an adult? I mean, should people decide on their own whether they need to gamble or not.
What do you think?

No, because it won't kill people just like drugs. At least, not directly. And gambling is easier to stop, not like drug addiction who needs a rehabilitation to stop it.

I disagree, gambling can kill the gambler, example if the gambler is so addicted that they will stay at the casino for days and dont eat or anything, that alone can be deadly because the person dont have enough rest some may result to heart attack. I know no rehabilitation for addict gamblers but I think it would be a good idea to have one as to help them control their addiction or for gamblers to have more self control.

There is no need of worrying about gambler in such an extreme level. No gamblers will be allowed to stay within the casino for days without eating or taking food. Even if there is some rehabilitation centre, nothing gonna until the user mind gets changed himself. Until then gamblers cannot be separated out of gambling and addiction.
