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.

There is a separate special subject that we had when I was in college and it was called "career development" or "Cardev" as they say it for short.
It was offered as part of your study load mandatorily. It isn't a regular subject but we only have it during Saturdays for 1 hr.
It tackles more on your career development generally, but the professor who handled us also tackles about the danger of drug and alcohol addiction, but not gambling. So, yeah I guess any schools could actually impose it on their curriculum, but I don't think this is suitable for elementary and high school kids. This kind of subject is more relevant to college students.

I guess it is same with the Personal Development subject most likely recently into the range of Senior Highschool up to college like around first or second year of them, and this is all about the tackle about the personal experiences, denial, flight and fight between the people's decision makings and it is a good example gambling addiction there's a lot of criteria can be use for example and it is good at the early age now they know what are the things needed to avoid if they want to try or experience this entertainment.
