If this forum were embracing drug addiction, don't you think it wouldn't look as good?
I would not put drugs and gambling on the same page.
Once you are a drug addict you are harming your body and mind. You are taking substance but a gambling addict is harming his mind. The physical affect is less here.
You can not take drug just for fun but you can gamble for fun.
Anyway, there will be many more difference. Point is gambling addict and drug addict is not the same in my eyes.
