Despite knowing this, everyone expresses a strong addiction to alcohol. Yes, we have an innate attraction to forbidden things, due to which we are subconsciously attracted despite knowing the harm.
Gambling is also similar, despite the financial losses and the possibility of severe family damage, and most gamblers are attracted to it. Yes, it can also be said that subconsciously we are strongly attracted through the neurons in our brain, even though our brain knows very well that gambling is harmful.
