I was just wondering how can gambling addiction affect health status?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Gambling addiction: If you gamble to the exclusion of exercise, it will endanger your health. So will gambling in smoke-filled casinos, especially if you smoke also. If you gamble away your money, you won't be able to pay for healthy food or a place to live. If you owe money to the wrong kinds of people, they may acutely endanger your health.
