What do you think makes a person become a responsible player and why is it difficult for many?
If we take the story from the average gambler's side, they may find it difficult to become responsible gamblers because from the start they have the desire to make a lot of money so they are out of control and they feel how easy it is to earn money just by sitting and playing games (if they are lucky) so that over time they become addicted, just like the point you mentioned about passive smokers, if they have become passive smokers, it will be difficult to stop, but if they have the intention to be responsible, that desire will overcome their addiction, but gradually.
It's just that every gambler must be a well-rounded individual with a desire to learn about the world and discover new intellectual subjects for themselves and read books, as well as be interested in something other than gambling.
In the world of gambling, the audience that easily succumbs to addiction are people who do not have many different hobbies, who are only trying to earn as much money as possible. Although they themselves do not understand why they do this.
