Topic: What's worse: cigar addiction or gambling addiction (Read 2301 times)

The reason why gamblers fall addict to smoking and drinking is because they get served with such stuff in casinos. These are a way to increase their enjoyment of playing. From this, they develop such habits. This way, they not only lose money in gambling but waste in alcohol too. Better is to play online with crypto coins or fiat. In case of crypto coins, the player will actually win more than what he gets.

Here in India, cigarettes cost around $0.25 per piece or $3.00 per pack. So at the most, you may spend a few hundred USD on cigarettes if you have an addiction. In all probability, the financial damage may be insignificant. On the other hand, gambling addiction can cause your financial ruin in a matter of few hours and you may never be able to recover from it.

I guess we really can see differences in the said two addiction. Although it's a fact with what you've said and it's a true scenario that happens elsewhere because of the known cause. Those activities you've said were the 'unusual things' that I've mentioned and it's very sad to see that there were gamblers that are coming to that scenario without realizing themselves that it's already too much for them.

Gambling addictions can be reversed by therapy and with the help of the people around the gambler. Once they've moved on from it, there's still a second chance. The effects of cigarette addiction on your body most of the time is irreversible. Even if you decide to eventually quit smoking, you can't remove the effects of it in your body, like cancer. Just by that, addiction to the former is of course more fatal.

Cigar addiction will only affect yourself particularly your health, but in gambling addiction it can do much worst depending on how addicted you are. Some gamblers (especially those who seem out of their mind already) are committing crimes because of desperation to get back their losses. So it depends on the extent of addiction, we know being addicted to any deed is bad for us.

But if gambling addiction has been a practice to you then it would be the same as cigar addiction which you can't barely handle? but we have the same answer about cigar addiction is much extreme than the gambling addiction. But it would depend up to the situation if the result has been changing. We've seen stories here that were shared that they came up to the extent of doing unusual things because of gambling addiction.

The comment below is from another topic, but since it seems highly appropriate here, I'm posting it:


Now to the one-million-dollar question

That is, what should one smoke to go all postal like this? As far as I know, weed in general makes people more friendly and outgoing overall (that's why it is considered a recreational drug by some), so it should be something really heavy to produce a similar effect. What could that be?

Better to avoid it because it is the best choice since both are dangerous especially if you are so addicted to it. Addiction is a kind of disease that is so hard to cure so prevention is better than cure. It's not just smoking or gambling it could also be alcoholic or drugs addiction. Either one of it is still dangerous for us.

With one you lose your health and money slowly but surely.
With the other you can instantly lose all your money and your whole life, but you also might not!

Hard choice, I just avoid both!

I think not, and gambling addiction is not the same as cigar addiction when it comes to its effects. It is not related, and it is a different aspect, so I don't agree with what you've stated. There are a lot of effects of gambling addiction, but not to the point that it will give you an unhealthy lifestyle. It is possible but for those who are not knowledgeable enough about gambling.


When that happens, you are not ready, or you didn't research before doing gambling. Seek first the information like, what to do before gambling, effects of gambling, how to do betting, etc. that will benefit you for you to have a successful and strategic gambling. Doing some analysis and investigation in gambling will make you knowledgeable, well-informed, and intelligent to avoid losses. Avoiding losses will now hinder you from destroying your health because of that.

Yes, losses can make you unhappy, depressed, and miserable, but there is a solution for that. Try to practice gambling, try first a minimum bet, and limit your odds for you to control your money. Then if you win, you're lucky! If you come to the point where your losses are huge enough, this is where you should now know how to CONTROL YOUR EMOTIONS and improve your SELF-DISCIPLINE — learning that two will make your mind healthy during tough times.

That's true because its already within your system and your body will keep craving for a smoke.

These gamblers who are addicted may not only lose their money but they may lose their help.
if you see some addicted gamblers, they also do smoke, they drink, and they don't sleep enough time as required by our body, so basically, gambling addiction has a lot of negative effect in our life, not only financially.

I can probably say that the worse it cigar addiction because if you have been addicted to the cigarettes then it would be so hard for you to stop it simply because your body will always find the nicotine of the cigarette that it's been taking for a long time, while addiction in gambling can brought you into many bad activities especially if you don't have money or funds that may support your gambling vices and it would be hard also to stops.

You will get a real enjoyment when you are not doing harmful activity and gambling is not harmful as long as you remain a responsible gambler.
if you close your mind and conclude that gambling is harmful then the government should already ban this, I mean every government in the whole world.

Enjoyment according to Google:

Question is, can enjoyment and moderation exist side by side? They probably can but won't be that easy. You'll need to be very discipline to overcome the temptation to play thesame thing frequently for the enjoyment.
In my opinion, you should only "enjoy" what is beneficial (and not harmful) to you. Kill off the feeling of enjoyment whenever you are on something that does not benefit you. Just play  and aim for the price.


  

If we refer this to gambling, this actually depends on the person's capacity to control himself.
Gambling should not be seen as a bad activity as it's a kind of activity that could provide the best entertainment we are looking, if we handle ourselves properly.

This even offers an opportunity for those who have skills in gambling, but since the reality is not everyone of us are winners, we should know if we should be aggressive or just do it moderately to enjoy, that way, we can prevent ourselves being addicted because we are honest with our real chances. 

Probably love for things that are not beneficial ... Especially things that are harmful to the people. This's why it is important for people to avoid
trying things that have no real benefits to them.

If something makes you feel good after taking it, make sure to check the advantages and disadvantages, if the disadvantages outweigh that advantages then you really should not continue using it.
Those that are not harmful but have some advantages should be done moderately to avoid addiction.

Both of cigar and gambling will destroy us, not just a family but a life. Although other people treated gambling as form of entertainment, but the sad thing on it was addiction and lost of property due to extreme of activities linked to it. Once a habit becomes a usual activity, it would leads to worst level and tends to be uncontrollable.

but dont you think if a man destroys Himself wont destroy His family as well?if the person suffer from cancer and stop working top feed the family,then how can they survive because he also needs a lot to pay for the treatment?
theres a domino effect about smoking mate so i think there is nothing to choose but both are baddest of all vices.
worst can be asses not by us,but those who will get affected and its unexplainable ,its easy for us to say now but things will be different if we suffer from those.

Comparing addictions between cigarettes or gambling, I think none of them are good, both are very bad!
even if told to choose I will not choose because both of them make our body sick in various aspects of mental and physical, will eventually lead to a death, cigarette affects physically = you can die, gambling affects mentally = you can die from too much stressing.

Each are worse than the other in some form. There are people who have been affected with lung disease, but they aren't smokers. Same time there are people who have stressed themselves out of gambling and caused so much health issues. When a man is free from everything he won't go for a cigar or some addictive. This makes me believe both form of addiction is worse.
