Addiction / substance dependency topic?

I wrote to MNHQ about having an addiction topic as there's a codeine addiction thread at the moment where lots of posters are talking about dependency on OTC drugs.

It seems strange that in the Health section there are topics for almost everything else - eating disorders, alcohol dependency. Drug addiction is something that affects huge numbers of us.

They've said they might introduce one based on how many MNers agree.

So if you do, post below!

I think this is a good idea. It's something that was talked about when we got the stop smoking topic.

Yes I think age metal addiction one would be a good idea. It could cover lots of addictions like alcohol, drugs, gambling etc.
