Truth be told, as other users has already stated in their posts, a lot of things can be addicting. Actually, video-game addiction will be considered as an illness in the future. Look it up on Google. It's not widespread and evident at the moment in our current generation, but over the next couple of years, psychologists speculates that it could be considered as such. I did some researching on online-gaming as a final-presentation in my English class, and I forgot the exact website(s) I went to, but video-game addiction can be hazardous to your health, though this is obvious. It could be worse than if one were to choose the path of substance-abuse as well. Video-game addiction can lead to:
*Loss of money over a period of time (continuous and on-going, this applies to MMOs especially)
*Less interest in social activities
*Ignoring your children / parents / obligations, etc
*Loss of appetite.
