In general I do believe people have a right to make bad decisions for themselves as long as it does not harm others too much.

However, depending on what kind of addiction we're talking about, it's arguable whether you're making your own decisions anymore. If I'm addicted to a hard drug like heroin does it really make sense to talk of my "decision" to care about nothing else in the world and betray everyone I know to get more of my drug? I'm not convinced on that point.

Angus is making a fair point though, so I can't say I support the bill.
