But once a person got involved in gambling, it will be hard not to 'abuse' it. Even though for example we just gamble for entertainment, the chance to be obsessed by gambling is big especially for the young people.

This is what young people hate to hear most of all, when something is dangerous "especially" for their age. In most cases after hearing something like that they immediately try to engage with the subject in question, be it sex, drugs, alcohol or gambling. If we want to prevent young people from gambling addiction, we should try to speak their language, not the language they hate. Young people, starting from the age of 13-14 are no longer kids any more and if something is dangerous for them to do, it is equally dangerous for adults either. Is it bad for someone to become a gambling addict? Yes, definitely it is. But this is relevant to everyone regardless of their age.
