Of course life style choices can cause problems.
If you smoke, you're going to get lung disease.
If you eat 3 dozen donuts daily, you're going to get fat, heart problems, diabetes, etc.
If you lay in the tanning bed daily, you'll probably get skin cancer.
I know I shoot up heroin, I'm going to get addicted, chemically dependant, but I can stop it.
If you have unprotected sex with many people, you can catch a disease.
If you drink quarts of vodka daily, your brain chemistry will change.
These are all consequences of choices.
We are grown ups & know the ramifications of excessively doing anything,
Too much of anything doesn't make it a disease, it means we made poor choices.
Personal accountability.
I come from a long line of addicts who made poor choices but I HAVE the choice to not participate in something that I know is bad for me.

To each his own, we all have our opinions & that's mine.
