What's worse: cigar addiction or gambling addiction

[michellee]

When it's called addiction, that will be not good for your life. We know that cigar and gambling addiction are very dangerous for our life, and both have the same serious problem for every people who have that addiction. I only think that we need to reduce the addiction when we still have a chance and get a way to solve the problem because if we are in deeply of the addiction, we will have a big problem for our health and our money. I won't say which one will be the worst because both will be dangerous for us.

I know this topic was, but I'm interested in explaining why you would compare these two things that have only one thing in common, addiction. Why compare them if they are two different terms.            
 Eg for cigars we give money and have no profit, while for gambling we give money and there is a possibility of getting money. In the world, these two topics are crucial, but why
Whether the addiction is a mental deficiency or simply as a love for something?
When someone loves a sport is he or she addicted?

Smoking cigar may give a relaxation to those who are smoker, so it can be considered as a profit for them. I believe smoker wont agree with the statement that there is no profit of smoking. For me, I cant compare both as they are not apple to apple comparison as they are completely different. The main important thing here is that addiction is not good, no matter what you are addicted to. Even coffee addiction is not good as well for your health.

When someone loves a sport is he or she addicted?

If you feel that you are addicted to something then it is better to consult a doctor as you need help, i cannot authoritatively say that it is a mental deficiency but the fact is that all the addicts will not find out whether they are impulsive or not and only a third person can judge your actions but if you understand that something is not normal then it is well and good. I do smoke and it is hard for me to stop completely but gambling i have my control.

Addiction of any sort is not good for a person. Excess of everything can cause restlessness in human behavior. Though I don't think that all sort of addictions require some treatment but those which are eventually harmful one way or the other should not be ignored. If you smoke then it is not possible to stop instantly. Everything takes time. First you need to smoke less and then eventually get rid of it.

they say stopping ciggarite instanly is bad can cause mental issues  . this is why others are doing it slowly  . same can also be applied when we are already addicted on gambling  .  we should less the amount of crypto that we use and we should lessen also the time that we burn inside the gambling arena and so on . they day will come that we will notice that we are not addicted anymore  .  cigar or gambling both should be done moderately to avoid further problems

I'll tell you a little about my history of years ago. Over 10 years ago I started playing video games. I played a lot of super mario bros, mortal kombat, super tank Nes and many other kids games (I say kids because the graphics were so bad and they were old games that I played when I it was smaller), the case is that a lot of people called me a game addict, then I switched to computer gaming and people increased their evil comments about me. I didn't care if people called me a game addict or No. My point is:

when can a person be considered addicted?

In my case I played 6 hours a day, but I did my things away from home and I had many days I had no time and so I didn't play.

I also started placing sports bets on the sportsbet.io website and I confess that I liked it, always liked soccer games. But my question remains:

When can we consider that a person is addicted to games?

[Capt00]

Gambling is a worst addiction people might end up going broke and poor or commiting suicide while for cigar addiction i didnt heard any story that people end up poor cause of smoking too much cigar.

Same goes with cigar addiction, cigars in our place are quite expensive but a lot of people are still buying it and it can make you broke just buying cigar and if you’ll get sick not only you will be broke but also your family and also it is also like a suicide because we all know having cigar addiction can give you diseases so for me, it is better to stop both.

[EdenHazard]

Yes, I do agree with you that both topics require a serious approach.

However, that comparison isn't making sense since as you said they have different terms. It should be discussed differently and separately, on other topics and not as direct discussion comparing the addiction between gambling and cigar.

The source or reasons for being addicted to those two things depend on different factors since they have a different environment.

But the bottom line is, whatever everyone got addicted to, our mind plays a big role here e.g because of interest, desires, comfortability, eagerness to something, etc.

Gambling addiction at the worst possibility causing people suicide once the person hits by the huge loss > feeling blue > can't handle the extreme deficit.

Cigar addiction at the worst possibility causing death due it's clearly contains toxic hazardous chemicals shit.

Can't imagine those people who smoking and walk in to Las Vegas casino everyday . They are living between two deadly things lol . There's intercorrelation between , the one harm your mental health and the other harm your physical health. To cure from any kind addiction is simply by reducing the frequency doing that and keep in mind that it takes a long long time, a long journey with patience required ...

The only moot point here is both can be define as addiction. But to choose the lesser evil between the 2? I would choose smoking easy.

Been smoking for many years now and up to know I can't really quit it. But  there are times in my gambling addiction that I can stop it right away, days, months, or even years. But giving up smoking takes a lot of mental discipline and you can't just go wake up tomorrow and say I'd stop.

You will loss a lot of money if you are addicted in gambling, that is obviously worse than cigar addiction because money can change everything and it will result to worse if you loss more than you can afford to lose. ..

These two dependencies have different damage. Cigar addiction harms your health, and gambling addiction empties your pockets. But I must admit that they are both harmful to you.

[vintages]

Both addiction can be hurting and in one way on the another and at the end it makes the person suffering damaged. The different between them is that one is causing a physical damage while the other is causing an internal damage.
Another thing is to examine their effects/long time effects. For me, if you ask me, i think internal damage is more crucial than the physical damage.
Gambling addiction can be removed or stopped through therapies and self-will but cigar addition can led to lung cancer. Unfortunately, not much can be done to resolve it. 

[jhonjhon]

My vote is that cigar addiction is worse then gambling addiction
I know people personally in real life who have got lung cancer from smoking and the same cant be said for people I know who gamble
They are both addictions which can lead you to suffer in life but cigar addiction is worse for cancer alone

And not only you who will suffer but your family too, both addictions are not good for us if you can prevent yourself from getting addicted then do it or better don’t enter into gambling or don’t try cigar to avoid addiction all together. In my opinion, I can’t choose one for the reason that both addictions can make a person miserable.

Sharing my experience tho..

Iv’e been addicted on both cigar and gambling on the same time, Both of these vices started with simply some stress that I want to reduce    After sometime it becomes my hobby that turns into addiction. After weeks of being stress I’ve noticed that I am being dependent with these two vices that it becomes my daily routine.

A simple problem blooms into another problem, After realizing that Iv’e been dependent to this vices. So I decided to stop this vices, Tried it on a slow procees. I tried switching to vape and It’s a successful switch. I also tried to stop playing gambling and It is more difficult than I am thinking before, I tried not playing slowly day by day. It feels so hard.  

Heres the conclusion. In  the end I can’t stop playing gambling , I just reduce the addiction level. Its really hard for me    Though the cigar addiction were completely gone because of vaping. I found the satisfaction on vaping. I think I can’t find other things that can make me completely satisfied than gambling.

People would normally stuck up into things which do gives out contentment in terms of entertainment which gambling would able to give.When it comes to cigar addiction, yes it can be replaced by vape but there were still some person who arent able to do that.It would all depend if their body would like it or not so in your case it turns out to be successful then its good for you since we do know the health issues or status between cigar and vape.For gambling addiction then this one is the hardest thing to get rid off because even up to this year,majority of gamblers doesnt able to seek another replacement when it comes to entertainment.

What is definitely addictive gambling is very dangerous. Because for the sake of gambling anything can be done, for example borrowing money from others for gambling. This is dangerous for me, and the more dangerous is stealing for gambling.

lol what about cigarettes smoking?it doesn’t dangerous?when your lungs and body is the main target?

Maybe you are a smoker that’s why you need to choose between the two,why not just do it both or stop together?

Vices is indeed giving us happening but this also killing us that we don’t give a glimpse

[hopenotlate]

I either smoke from time to time and not on a regular basis, also gamble a bit but am just a recreational: so I can state that, until now at least, am able to manage the two addictions mentioned in OP.
But there is another addiction I struggle to manage: crypto addiction. I can't stand a day without checking prices, news and this forum as well. Might it become harmful in your opinions?

^ You are not alone here, every one of us is in crypto addicted not just only by gambling. Yes, might it harmful to us if we follow our emotions when we see the price drop and do panic selling. Nevertheless, I will not tolerate my self to become addict to those both addiction gambling and cigarette addictions. Always put in our mind the probable cause and the consequences that may happen. Be responsible enough at your self and you should know your limitations.

Crypto addiction sometimes actually brings dangers when we are putting us too much pressure, if not relieved, our health will decline under that but if managed properly, our income will be higher and we will have less time for bad activities like smoking or gambling, but leaving our addiction to crypto, gambling addiction and cigar addiction are more dangerous than ever. I also can hardly say what is worse when one can kill us slowly and one can kill us in a short time, smoking is death in the distant future and gambling is death in the near future

Anything that is called addiction is bad because it will make us put too much time and attention to a certain activity that will result to a less balance lifestyle. We are talking of the worse addiction here and I would like to put crypto addiction in the last since it could be like a passion for us here that we really love crypto since we are also getting something in return, which is the benefits of being a crypto enthusiast.

Well, the funny thing is that gambling addicts tend to also be heavy smokers. Smoking is used to calm nerves in stressful situations, which is something that heavy gamblers find themselves in a lot.

Personally, I would say that gambling addiction has the potential to ruin your life very quickly. One seriously wrong move can send victims into a lifetime of crippling debt that they might never climb out of.

Cigars on the otherhand are damaging to the health (and can hit the wallet hard), but are unlikely to have any noticeable effects in the short term.

Either way, both are bad, but it's double bad if you're a double addict!

[Barracuda]

The so-called Addiction is definitely bad. Whether it's addicted to cigarettes (cigar), gambling addiction, crypto addiction or other addictions. All these addictions must be very dangerous, depending on what you are addicted to. For example smoking addiction, it is dangerous for health, addiction to gambling is dangerous for your finances unless you always win in gambling.

So all these addictions are dangerous!

[SquallLeonhart]

Seriously, both addiction is hard to stop and both are worse. I'm a smoker myself that even now that I have a family of my own, I will still sneak out when all are asleep just to have a cigarette break. I'm not losing a ton of money when I smoke though.

Smoking is injurious to your health whereas gambling is injurious to your wealth. I agree that you will not be losing tons of money when you are smoking but I believe your life is worth more than thousands of tons of money. I'm not sure about your awareness about your health because without being healthy you cannot earn any money so tons of money is nothing when comparing against your heath.

Whether the addiction is a mental deficiency or simply as a love for something?

Definitely addiction must be a mental illness. This is how a psychological approach is being handled always. Addiction can happen for anything because human nature is always vulnerable to get addicted when loving anything too much; a love may become an addiction over the time.
