Saying addiction is a disease is like saying that skateboarding is a disease. It's a conscious choice someone makes, knowing that there are potential consequences. Don't do an addictive substance and you won't get hooked on it. It's as simple as that.
People don't do AIDS repeatedly until they have AIDS.
