I think that people prone to addiction will always find a way to get addicted, like sniffing glue or gambling and so on.
And they should have a right to as long as they don't require others to subsidize their choice. Unfortunately, we currently have a rather extensive and expensive "safety net" in place that they will be far more likely to use than the few unfortunate people for whom it is intended.
I am not prone to absolutism, I prefer nuance.
