This is always the struggle. In theory, I like the idea of just letting people make their own decisions, and let the consequences fall where they lie. But in practice we know that unrestricted distribution of addictive products (gambling, alcohol, drugs, etc) causes societal harms that are not confined to the individual making the bad choices. Doubly so when the makers of these products go out of their way to target those with addiction issues. The existence of which calls into question just how much of a choice some people really have, and whether we have a moral responsibility to protect these vulnerable people.
