>>But yeah, my point is that if we argue an addict's addiction is their own fault, we can make a case for people with STDs being self-inflicted (nobody forced them to have sex after all), or people who get mugged when walking alone in dodgy areas (they choose to put themselves at great risk that smarter people avoid).

I don't think you can make a simplistic comparisson like that. Every addict has a different story. There are potentially many many different motivations going on inside an addict and to make any sort of general assumption about the whys and wherefores of addicts' actions will simply mislead. Humans are complicated. Addiction is a very very complicated thing - to attempt to untangle anything more than an individual's case would be pointless.
