So you keep claiming. Here's what the American Society of Addiction Medicine says:

“Genetic factors account for about half of the likelihood that an individual will develop addiction.

So you're point is that losing HALF of our population is acceptable? Why do I talk to you people?

My point is that you're wrong to keep claiming that addiction is a purely physiological phenomenon.

that losing HALF of our population is acceptable?

No, "half of the likelihood" does not translate to "HALF of our population."
