    For things that are physically addictive, addiction is actually a disease.

    They change the way your brain functions and can elevate themselves to the same level as thirst in some cases.

    You aren’t wrong that other factors can cause a person to use addictive substances and this won’t help with that.

    But many people do addictive substances purely because they get addicted.

    In many cases addiction makes your life way worse and the things you do to feed it are horrendous. So this argument doesn’t apply to many.
