Now to be completely rational about this topic you need to understand the meanings of words like in law.

So take the word Addiction derives from Addict

ad·dict Audio Help /n. ˈædɪkt; v. əˈdɪkt/ Pronunciation Key - Show Spelled Pronunciation[n. ad-ikt; v. uh-dikt] Pronunciation Key - Show IPA Pronunciation
–noun 1. a person who is addicted to an activity, habit, or substance: a drug addict.
–verb (used with object) 2. to cause to become physiologically or psychologically dependent on an addictive substance, as alcohol or a narcotic.
3. to habituate or abandon (oneself) to something compulsively or obsessively: a writer addicted to the use of high-flown language; children addicted to video games.


Origin: 1520–30; < L addictus assigned, surrendered (ptp. of addīcere, equiv. to ad- ad- + dic- (var. s. of dīcere to fix, determine) + -tus ptp. suffix)]

As you can see by reading the definition you can be addicted, or have an addiction to almost anything.

Like for instance if you like Hockey you can be addicted to it, do they have treatment for that? no of course not because they make money from it and entertainment distracts you from what is really going on in the world. They choose there words carefully as to make it that vague, but yet have used the media to make most people think the word addict means drug user when it clearly doesn't.

I agree totally its all propaganda and a way for the goveronment and medical facilities to exact more dollars out of the Human beings living in there country.
