Pachinko addictive

Tragedy of "Pachinko addictive" was featured on the TV last night.THere're more of such people who can't stop playing pachinko once they're addicted to it.

Formerly it was recognized as individual bad character that drives them to do so,but recent medical study showed that it should be categorized as a disease rather than just a bad habit.Therefore,now they also have a facility to correct them and get rid of their disease by some psychological treatments.However,I think that such measure doesn't seem enough since they may again be tempted to visit pachinko parlor after they quit the facility.My idea is that they should also provide patients with some programs by which they can develop new skill or new hobby so that they can reorient their interest from pachinko to new one.

As you know,such a gambling is likely to cause trouble for others not only within one's family but in worst case kill someone.The task team should be organized involving as many kinds of professional to have better program.
