Even when you have entered into full addiction to the game you can get out of it, there are much worse addictions that are defeated daily. One above all the excessive addiction to tobacco, I could tell many stories of those who for health reasons had to give up tobacco.
It takes willpower!
If health is at stake, then such a patient will quit smoking the first time, unlike me, who quit smoking several dozen times and in the end I succeeded. And if the player also had a choice, like a patient before smoking, he would have stopped playing if he could have been aware of his actions by then.
Making the comparison of smoking addiction with gambling makes sense. Because the stages that are passed are quite difficult, to be honest I have no intention of quitting smoking. Apart from the similarities with gambling addiction, here I will say a few simple differences. Gambling addiction will clearly harm someone's finances, but smoking addiction is not always bad. I mean you smoke still get pleasure and satisfaction when smoking it, right? In gambling you run out of money and addiction never feels pleasure and satisfaction, it is the abyss of destruction. But as long as it is based on a reasonable portion, it will still be fine.
