yes, including environmental diseases. because the environment there is a lot of gamblers, so many other people will also be affected and eventually get addicted too. if you want to really eliminate the addiction, then the environment must also be eliminated from gambling addiction.
I'm guessing you are pointing the surroundings? And mostly those people that are influencing you to gamble, right? I'm thinking faraway from your explanation about the environment because it's the nature that you are living with. You can't just eliminate the surroundings and the people you are living with. The best is to go away from them and don't go near them if you really want to eliminate addiction in your life.
It's the best for someone who wants to move on and change his lifestyle.
