I get the connection, and I can even see the similarities. I'm hopelessly addicted to snuff. The sh1t owns me, it has for well over 30 years. Even at that, I can't rightfully put it in the same category with the destruction that is drug and alcohol addiction, and neither could the study.
The part I thought was really interesting was the test they gave folks to ferret out propensities. That way they could send you home before wasting brain machine time on you.
I'm certain I'd get brain machine time, I've always been highly addictive to anything I liked. If some is good, more is better. That way of thinking and living is very difficult to contain, and I see it in all facets of my life. At least at this point of my life I know what to do about it and I can notice it. That just leaves the doing part.
