Are strange addictions related to genetics?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Addiction ; Genetics: Not sure what you mean by strange. I guess all addictions are strange in their own way. Addiction is strongly genetically influenced. As with anything genetic, each individual may or may not get the trait, depending on relative contributions from each parent and their side of the family tree.
