Why

-De Addiction?

. Dr Shriniwas Kashalikar

Addiction of “drugs” causes perceptible and conspicuously disastrous effects and is

.universally and rightly condemned

, But addiction of tobacco alcohol and , ,other things such as TV internet . mobile etc does not

cause alarmingly conspicuous and .quick damage

, In fact many people seem to be well off with moderate tobacco and alcohol and many seem to

. Be sad and disturbed without them

Many people are happy go lucky and live generously and benevolently with

tobacco and alcohol and many others without

; tobacco and alcohol seem to become ,fanatic

! fastidious and sadist

Why should one suffer

deprivation and abstinence from “exuberance and style” in such

?doubtful state of affairs

: -Namasmaran provides the answer De

addiction makes sense if there is fountainhead of universal

! welfare Mere physical benefits - resulting from de addiction is a narrow

and petty consideration

and hence does not appeal to most !people
