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?

Gambling was created for entertainment and recreational purposes. There's no way government will ban gambling since they can gain tax from it, and it has been part of every countries culture to gamble. They can only go after illegal gambling games or if gambling operators commit fraud or illegal activities. Being addicted to gambling is our own responsibility and the government has nothing to say about it.

There are gambling sponsored gambling like lottery, they call it legal because it's their own and I think they only ban illegal gamble.
People will still gamble even if they will ban it because nowadays it's easy to access the online gambling site especially if you are using crypto to gamble.
A person from a certain county can gamble in different country through online, and that's already out of jurisdiction of the government.
