The majority is never addicted because they define or influence the concept.

So by definition I would be recreationally addicted? It almost sounds like anything society enjoys more than the super minority is then an addiction. I simply can't go that far. Nor am I willing to agree the few that life the LCF lifestyle are the norm and everyone else is the abnormal addicted.
The way I see things for this topic, if you drive on a daily basis 1 mile to get to work, when you could do it walking or cycling, there seems to be a kind of addiction, since your daily irrational habit has several side effects which you seem to ignore.
