What is the difference between addictive behavior, like gambling, and consuming an addictive substance, like nicotine (from tobacco)?
 
Addiction is addiction, however substances will kill you faster.
 
Not necessarily. If your gambling addiction leaves you in debt, the loan shark you borrowed the money from to pay the debt might significantly shorten your lifespan if you don't pay him back in time. ;)

I did some small gambling at the slot machines in Vegas. Between me and my girlfriend we blew over 100 dollars. We didn't win anything. We were walking by one old lady and she won over 30 thousand dollars sitting at the slot. I was so jealous lol.

30k? Damn!

I went to a casino a few weeks ago. Was proud of winning $140. I did put in $60 so I really only profited $80 which was cool with me! Paid for drinks and the gas there and back.
