There are many addictions other than tobacco and drugs. Addiction to cell phones and social media has been growing at an alarming rate with many traffic accidents, some resulting in death, attributed to this recent phenomena. Food addiction has been growing, also, and we are treating young children for related diseases such as diabetes and high blood pressure. We have addiction to gambling, which is growing with the recent growth in casinos. Our sheriff told me a while ago that the robberies at the local Hotspots or video poker rooms were being done by drug addicts and gamblers who had lost their paychecks at the Hotspot and robbed the next one to have money for groceries when they got home.

Back in 1962, it was reported that there was evidence that smoking cigarettes could cause lung cancer. Shortly after, it was confirmed that there was a link between smoking and lung cancer. I was working as a medical technician, and I smoked cigarettes as did most of the people working at the hospital. We knew that there was something to the news as the doctors started to switch from cigarettes to cigars and pipes. I quit smoking and lasted for two years until the secondhand smoke got me, and I started smoking a pipe. For the next few years, I quit and restarted many times. I was addicted to tobacco.
