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

Humans are social being, if others in the society are not around gambling then I think gambling addiction will not survive for long. And gambling comes from thousands of years ago, so I think some changes may come as a result of the change in environment, but it will not be possible to turn gambling off. If anyone wanna know the history of gambling please check this topic https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5405436.0

The chance is high that it won't happen anymore if there are no gambler that will encourage the others to gamble.

But if someone starts it and gives the idea that it's fun and there's money on it, the likely of influencing the others is very high. That's what is going to happen.

At first, if there's no encouragement, there will be no people that shall gamble at that place. And if somebody gets the initiative then we can't be sure if it won't exist there.

Everything changes when it's a gambler is an addict. An addict has this urge to play gambling even no one is encouraging the gambler. Remember that there are gambling addicts who are playing discretely just to avoid the attention of the people around them. There are also people who are trying to stop addicts in playing but addicts are trying their best to themselves seem they stop playing. Though changing environment can help addicts to realize things up and through those realization, It can help them reduce or change the habit of them playing gambling. People around an addict can contribute to the factor of addiction but it is all in the gambling addict if he want to stop or reduce his addiction.
