Casinos Linked to Health?
Casinos have always been linked to
moral degradation, but could gambling be associated with health
problems? According to "Your Health News Today" the answer is;
yes.
Researchers have discovered that the
earlier you gamble in life the more likely you are to have health
problems. How can this be? What could playing casino games do to
the physical health of an avid gambler? Well the correlation is
not so direct I'm afraid.
Through investigation data shows that
young people who gamble have a greater likelihood to smoke, drink,
and partake in other illegal drugs. This is linked to gambling by
health researchers associatively.
The propensity to play online casino
games could be a warning sign for health problems to occur in the
future. It is not the gambling that causes the health problems
however, in this scenario the habit is being looked at as a kind
of gateway drug. If you gamble today it could lead to other harder
addictions like drugs and alcohol
Personally I believe that the results
of this "field research" should be taken with a grain of salt. It
is common for younger people to drink and do drugs more than older
people in general. A study which took a sample of young checker
board players could yield similar results.
Also, the criteria for the research is
almost Mormon its approach. If someone had consumed alcohol at
least twice with in the past year, they were considered a drinker
according to the study. If this standard was accurate the entire
eastern seaboard would be considered raging alcoholics.
This "study" is most likely a ploy to
create an argument against the online casino and land based casino
gaming industry. Fortunately for the "researchers" there is little
they can do that would improve the surmounting suspicion against
such sites. With the Bet on Sports fiasco still making headlines,
one can only pray for fair legislation when it comes to this
subject.
Health problems can be said to be
caused by breathing if the right individuals spin the information
in a skewed direction. The truth is the only thing that can be
directly linked to casino gaming is entertainment. At least that
is what the number of players logging online suggests.
