I know we are greatly influenced by the environment we are born into and sometimes become gamblers because of where we find ourselves, i also considered the possibility of gambling being hereditary and found out that it is also possible, that is gambling can be hereditary ,

Gambling is linked to a gene that is passed on through generations and a new study claims that it is passed on to both sons and daughters alike.

now come to think of it since it is difficult to escape our genetic makeup,
- Would you blame an individual who becomes addicted to gambling because it is wired to his DNA?

-Can their gambling problem be put in check by regular methods?

-Will the addiction be worse than someone who picked up the habit?

What a load of rubbish, nothing is "wired" to someones DNA. It is a learned behavior and picked up from the environmental setting someone grows up in. It is not a gene, but unfortunately whoever the guardian is to a child can have a huge impact on their development as a person. If you live around someone who smokes a lot, you're much more likely to pick up this habit. If you're around someone who flaunts that they are betting money on whatever, it's not as bad as smoking which has an addictive chemical property, you might be influenced into thinking it is less dangerous. Parent's and guardians have a massive responsibility to teach their children good behavior and it is very easy to pass along bad habits without even realizing.

Totally not relevant right? It isnt really that connected on someones DNA on where you do say that it could be passed into your children or sons/daughters because even people or parent would really be
involved into gambling but doesnt mean that it would really be definitely be on the same on where their children would be doing.It cant be passed but it would really be influencing those kids
if you wont guide them on the proper way and telling them about the risk of doing gambling.It do matters on parenting if you are really tending not for your children to follow on the same steps
you have done.It all matters about educating them about the risk but if you do missed it out then dont get surprised about possible things to happen ahead.
