I just don't understand trying to change the language so you can make a word mean whatever you want. So whatever the majority of society does that is different from what a sub set of a minority believes they call it an addiction. That makes using electricity an addiction, cell phones are becoming an addiction. At one time wearing a hat was an addiction, now it isn't much of an addiction but wearing baseball caps might be. Words have meaning and that can be looked up. Somehow I don't believe the American Psychiatric Association list cars as an addiction.
