Given all this, do you think it's worth organizing separate lessons in schools designed to tell children about gambling addiction? That is, to tell children about gambling addiction separately from addiction in general - alcohol and drug addiction.
I think this subject is worth to be mentioned at schools, but including all addiction themes together (drugs, alcohool, gambling). However, what really matters in this case is the kind of education and example children are having at home. Schools don't teach character, family does.

Here in our country there are specific lessons taught at public schools by police officers to guide children against drugs usage. On the other hand, I observe when those children grow up, they enter the drugs' world anyway, as those lessons back then didn't mean anything for them. That is why I say education, example and guidance must come from home at first place. Schools just consolidate what children have already been taught at home.
