Dismantling The Addiction Economy

Addiction is defined as ‘not having control over doing, taking or using something to the point where it could be harmful to you’. (UK NHS definition).

The Addiction Economy is the term we created to describe those industries which knowingly and unashamedly erode our ability to control our usage of their products beyond the point at which it harms us. Basically, to deliberately addict us.

We explore cross-cutting themes and put 8 sectors under the microscope - cigarettes, vapes, alcohol, unhealthy and ultra-processed foods, opioids,  gambling, social media and computer games.
