I still think this has a higher mortality rate than a gambling addiction does.
Gambling addiction can be the cause for people to take their own lives, but don’t try to argue that it’s worse than any other addiction, because it’s better than a lot of them. All addictions are bad, but I’d rather be addicted to gambling than to crack/meth/what have you. I’d bet (see there, already starting) that I’d lose all of my money in the process, but I wouldn’t die as a result of it.
And if whoever said that was talking about the most difficult to quit… well, I don’t have any first-hand experience with gambling addicts, nor do I have statistics, so I’ll take your word for it.
