What if an addiction is an addiction?

What if there is nothing for us to judge about the addiction of another person? What if you smoke three packs of cigarettes a day but I eat 5 pieces of cake for lunch or you gamble away your family’s money but I drink three+ glasses of alcohol every evening or you smoke marijuana and my house is filling to the brim with useless clutter or you work 24/7 and I use heroin to keep going or you shop until you drop and I watch TV for 14 hours a day?

What if in our society, there are popular and unpopular addictions and we feel sorry for some and seem to look down on others? What if we all got arrested for addictions that hurt us and I found myself in jail for eating a 1 pound box of chocolate? What if we are all just trying to find happiness?
