Addiction redefined

Smoking cigarettes and taking drugs are two kinds of addiction but there are many more. Despite this fact, most of the people associate only drugs and tobacco with addiction which is not completely true.
Now if you recall, addiction means devoting more time to something amusing. I personally feel that there is an optimum time allocated for any work. If the work exceeds the time, then it can be termed as addiction to that work. But there is an exception. Many workers in this country are working their designated hours and also overtime not for their addiction to their work but to earn additional money as the total burden fall on them to look after their families.
Another important point is that it is incorrect to use only the word 'addicted'. The right English usage is 'addicted to something'. One more valuable fact that we all know is 'time is money'. So, addiction is not only limited to time but also money. Thus, if anyone spends on a particular item more than is required then he is also addicted to that. Similarly, if less money is spent on cigarettes, then it has nothing to do with addiction.
Nowadays, young generations are attracted to video games. Game developers are trying to design upgraded things in their games in order to entice the teenagers and young people and make millions out of their addiction to games. There are many drawbacks involved in playing games like blurred vision, back pain and muscular exhaustion in hand caused by pressing controller's button overmuch. Although, some game developers have given health warnings at the back of the game cover, but most gamers tend to ignore it. Likewise, watching serials and shows hour after hour have the same effects. Moreover, children sacrifice their study time to play games which will have a dreadful consequence in the future. Aren't these things quite close to consuming cigarettes and drugs?
As a matter of fact, any work done disproportionately is not good and has long term impacts.
