> I encourage you to walk through some casinos and take stock of what you see.

I have spent a lot of time at casinos with family members who love eating, drinking, smoking, and gambling. Know what I've seen? I've seen that gambling is the only one of the four that hasn't killed at least one of my family members.



Lots and lots of gambling addicts die through suicide. Is there some reason this is less attributable to gambling as a cause than lung cancer is to smoking or drunk driving accidents are to alcohol?


Smoking related disease, obesity related disease, and alcohol related disease and deaths are much more common.
