The
question
is:
"Are
addictions
actually
bad
habits?"
According
to
the
habit
model
of
addiction,
they
are.
This
theory
of
addiction
states
that
the
only
reason
to
say
there
is
a
difference
is
to
persecute
"addicts."
People
with
bad
habits
of
smoking
often
feel
much
persecuted.
While
smoking
is
not
illegal
(at
least
not
yet),
it
is
shunned
by
society
as
a
whole.
At
first,
you
could
smoke
anywhere.
Expecting
fathers
smoked
in
the
maternity
waiting
rooms.
Then,
you
could
smoke
in
buildings,
but
only
in
a
designated
smoking
room.
Then
there
came
the
designated
smoking
area
outside
the
building.
Now
restaurants,
bars,
and
whole
cities
are
going
smoke-free.
It
seems
that
a
lot
of
people
have
given
up
their
bad
habits.
However,
they
do
not
seem
to
remember
how
badly
they
were
addicted
before.
The
truth
is
that
in
a
way,
they
are
still
addicted
and
always
will
be.
That
is
how
addiction
works.
In
an
effort
to
save
others
from
the
ill
effects
of
their
second
hand
smoke,
many
people
have
switched
their
bad
habits
to
smokeless
tobacco.
Just
because
the
tobacco
is
not
smoked,
though,
it
does
not
mean
the
nicotine
is
not
addictive.
It
is
said
to
be
just
as
hard
a
bad
habit
to
break
as
cigarettes.
People
quitting
it
use
patches
and
nicotine
gum
or
Zyban,
too.
Sleeping
pills
are
bad
habits
to
get
into
as
well.
They
can
be
so
addictive
that
you
need
a
higher
and
higher
dosage
to
fall
asleep.
Eventually,
they
will
not
help
at
all.
Some
people
overdose
in
an
attempt
to
reach
a
dose
that
will
put
them
to
sleep.
It
usually
takes
intervention
by
a
doctor
and/or
a
sleep
clinic
to
straighten
you
out.
Alcohol
can
be
a
bad
habit
if
you
drink
to
excess.
For
some
people
with
certain
physical
conditions,
it
can
be
risky
anyway.
It
can
be
dangerous
if
mixed
with
particular
medications.
However,
if
a
person
is
addicted
to
alcohol,
they
will
not
be
concerned
with
that.
Neither
will
they
be
concerned
about
their
jobs
or
their
relationships.
It
will
all
be
about
the
next
drink.
Drugs
pose
a
variety
of
bad
habits.
There
are
so
many
illegal
drugs
that
they
are
too
numerous
to
count.
They
have
different
affects
and
cause
different
levels
of
addiction.
Some
have
fast
and
devastating
results.
Others
do
little
damage
in
the
short
run.
Yet,
they
are
all
bad
habits.
There
are
club
drugs,
heroin,
cocaine,
methamphetamine,
and
hallucinogens.
All
these
drugs
can
be
nasty.
There
are
also
legal
drugs
that
people
get
into
bad
habits
with
by
starting
with
an
injury
or
other
medical
condition.
These
can
be
pain
pills
like
percocet,
or
muscle
relaxants.
They
are
also
very
addictive
bad
habits.
If
you
have
an
addictive
bad
habit,
you
probably
need
some
form
of
help
to
get
over
it.
In
fact,
once
you
have
a
serious
addiction,
experiencing
the
sights,
smells,
or
sounds
of
your
addiction
will
start
your
brain
in
that
addictive
mode
again.
It
is
no
wonder
that
people
struggle
for
years
with
addictive
bad
habits.
