Gambling terminals contribute to addiction in Canada.

A recent gambling news story from Canada has focused on the increasing use of so-called "gambling kiosks" in the country. These are essentially small computer terminals that allow people to bet on sports, lottery games, and other gambling activities. While they are legal in Canada, some experts are concerned that they may be contributing to a rise in problem gambling. The machines are often located in convenience stores and other locations where they are easily accessible to the public.

There have been calls for more regulation of these machines, in order to prevent people from becoming addicted to gambling.

Addiction is a serious problem, so we need to be careful about anything that could contribute to it. At the same time, banning certain types of gambling entirely often doesn't work. More education on responsible gambling may help people enjoy it casually without health and financial risks.
