"You can stop smoking at any time" "You can stop gambling at any time" As much as I may agree with you, you need a different argument.

There are lots of things you really can stop at any time. I could stop eating peanut butter at any time, if I had a compelling reason.
- rockskon 28d agoBecause if you want to convince someone away from believing it's an addiction so severe it needs an act of government to address, presenting an argument that all-but-panders to their "people spend so much time on it that it must be an addiction!" priors is counter productive.
