to ban something does not work. even in prisons are the drugs for example.
think it should be classified as a disease, such as alcoholism, and that there should be support to get.
Call it a disease,  a disorder,  whatever.   It's a very real problem with the reward pathway in the brain.  There's a line you cross, and once you cross it you can't go back.  It's the line past which an alcoholic can't just have one beer again.  And it's the line past which a gambling addict can't safely frequent a casino.
