ALCOHOL & CIGARETTES Choice, addiction, or identity? Mind Builder Seoul #12

In today’s modern society, alcohol and cigarettes are inseparable from our culture of pleasure and entertainment.

Why do they sometimes turn into addiction?
And where do the negative judgments surrounding them really come from?
