Why Is Alcoholism Considered a Disease, but Not Smoking? Are Food Addicts Considered Diseased?
Question by nunuvyobizniz: Why is alcoholism considered a disease, but not smoking? Are food addicts considered diseased?
Why would alcoholism not just be called an addiction like smoking or doing drugs? And if doing drugs is obviously worse and illegal than smoking, then why don’t we just call smoking a crutch? Or why don’t we call all smoking and drug addiction a disease as well? So, would food addicts also be considered diseased? Because it can be just as dangerous. Who made up these rules as to what’s a disease, what’s a crutch, and what’s an addiction?
