Can someone still develop the habit of gambling and become an addict even though no one around gambles?

if you gamble online I don't think it will affect the environment wherever you are, but it will have an effect if you invite and teach people in your environment who have not previously gambled

No one wants to take gambling as habit but it happens unconsciously. Those who concentrate on gambling for a long time it become a habitual fact. Generally in gambling does not require anyone to be invited. Those who are closure with any gambler automatically join gambling with enthusiasm.

Surprisingly, people who gamble are also the ones who just got exposed due to their curiosity. While an environment may definitely contribute if a person would most likely be exposed to gambling activities, such is not the sole indicator.

Regardless if a person is exposed or not, it is essential they know their limits and discipline. If gambling becomes a habit to them, then it will be slowly integrated into their system, thus forming part of their routine.

Personally, a change of an environment may help an addicted person overcome his addiction. A breath of fresh environment would lessen their influence in going back to their old habits, though this really comes from their self-determination and dedication to combat their addiction.
