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?

no, it's not actually a disease as it has a different definition and according from what I read Gambling Addiction is another form of mental disorder as you cannot control your emotion whenever you are dealing with in whenever you are winning or losing. and it is almost similar with drug addiction because you will always feel like the entire day will not be complete until you take or played a game. even if the government forbid gambling they will never be able to stop people who already live their life with it.
