Governments tend to ban addictions that are harmful to the society and sometimes health of the addicts.

There are lots of addictions governments should be banning if that is the case. Here are things people get addicted to that should be banned as well:

Games
Unhealthy foods
Television
Unrewarding Social Media
Pornography
etc.

Agree, addiction is not just about drugs and gambling because addiction encompasses many things that are basically addictive is something that is excessive and most addictions will involve health or a disease that must be reduced to be done and consumed. So, every person addicted to something will have a different detrimental effect, the government must have different rules or actions on this issue.

We need to change the habit and should not get overexcited over things. If we keep gambling in limits and do not indulged in it more than we can afford, it will be a healthy activity.

I believe that this is where the main reason is precisely. To not get overexcited over things, i had a harsh reminder yesterday even if not related to gambling.

And i don't think that it's only related to gambling, getting overexcited over things can affect you in a lot more ways.

I am not really a gambler but I heard about people who can't quit it and keep losing lots of money. Do you think the attitude to gambling addiction should be the same as to drug addiction?
Should the government forbid gambling and treat somehow those who are addicted?
Or maybe it should be left up to an adult? I mean, should people decide on their own whether they need to gamble or not.
What do you think?

I think that person has become a heavy addict and a disease that must be immediately helped, because it harms himself which will make him poor.
in my opinion there must be special rehabilitation for heavy addicts in gambling, because if that person is not helped it will have a negative impact on that person. I mean that person will commit a crime to get money in any way to bet and addicts like that not only endanger themselves but also harm others and must be helped.

If gambling is a disease then it can be solved by taking a aspirin unfortunately it won't work that way. Its up to that particular person to fix himself up

In my opinion, I don't think gambling is a disease, for me it is a disorder. There are a lot of kinds of diseases nowadays and how you earn them is through bacterias, heriditary, from other people and a lot of ways. In terms of disorder, it might be because of the state you are in before you got the disorder or also it is hereditary. For me gambling addiction is a mental disorder, you don't know that you are prioritizing the wrong thing,you are spending your money endlessly to something that will destroy you in the end.

Gambling addiction is not a disease. It is more related to the greediness nature of human being. The more you think that you want to gain quick money, the more you will play and try your luck with gambling. You might hurt yourself and even your family members if you too much spend in gambling.

Well op probably doesn't literally mean it as a disease but something similar. The fact that it needs to be assessed and given the right attention is similar to how you would start curing both a disease and a disorder. People who are well in control of their emotions are less likely to catch addiction much like someone who have been vaccinated.

Yes gambling addiction is considered a disease and needs help if it's truly impacting your overall life, There are many organizations or help groups for those affected by it "gambling-anonymous".

We need to change the habit and should not get overexcited over things. If we keep gambling in limits and do not indulged in it more than we can afford, it will be a healthy activity.

Quote from: Bitcoin Foundation on September 07, 2016, 05:45:06 AM

to ban something does not work. even in prisons are the drugs for example.
think it should be classified as a disease, such as alcoholism, and that there should be support to get.

Gambling cannot be related to drugs. A gambler cannot harm anyone. Even if he loses, he will harm himself only. On the other hand, a drug person can harm anyone like driving in drinking can be harmful etc.

Yes, everything that is related to being addicted to something is a disease so beware of being addicted to gambling. That's a disease that tells you to keep doing that way. Gambling addiction is a complex disease of the brain and your body, it disrupts some parts of your brain where you're learning. If you're being addicted to gambling, recovery is very difficult.

I don't think so. I think we are being addicted to something such as gambling because it gives as pleasure. This pleasure can good or bad depending to a person. We can't call something a disease if it somehow helps a person life.

Of course there are alot of people who still gambling in a healthy way and gambling help alot of people but we still have to do something about the addicted people which literally placed bad image on gambling because we all know that even ones eat too much of food it will lead to malfunction of the body system and later cause disease.

I think it's only a proverb, not literally interpreted. addicts can be called diseases because they attack and damage you inside. if you don't treat it properly then it will be very detrimental to you in the end, of course it does not mean the addict is really a disease that is only a proverb`

Therefore, gambling is not diseaae but gambling addiction is a disease because it also can lead to addicted people abnormal condition and the way to control are by applying the method of taking a break when ones start to feel the high spirit of gambling or quit for the day.

Quote

A disease is a particular abnormal condition that negatively affects the structure or function of part or all of an organism, and that is not due to any external injury.

I think we are over demonized gambling and i think gambling is not a disease. We can choose to be addicted to food and drinks does that make them diseases? I strongly believe that they are still many people that are gambling in a healthy ways.

There is nothing as a healthy way of gambling. It has got good as well bad, and the same happens in relation to the limitations that one sets for themselves. Addiction will not happen on its own. This happens when the user is greed or wish to make a big earning in a much shorter time period.

Addiction is form of mental sickness so yes gambling addiction also will fall under disease category.But gambling addiction can be overcome by ourselves as well when we are in early stage if it by simply change our concentration on something where we are much interested than gambling but if it is severe we need to take care of it with psychologist.

It is true that Liquor, Cigarette and Drug addiction can damage your body but talking about the whole addiction, it is a disease.
