I agree. We should help him kick the habit.

Why?
a) What if he doesn't want to?
b) Even if he does, why is that anyone's responsibility but his?

By your glib answer, can I assume that you're fine with addicts doing
whatever is necessary to feed their habits, just as long as it doesn't
affect you?

And so, you must also be fine with addicts stealing and destroying
families to feed their habits, just as long as it doesn't affect you.

so, there are no wealthy addicts? how about wall street coke users? bankers?
lawyers? hollywood or rock stars? i would presume that they could afford
their habits without affecting anyone else, and the time to intervene is
when they DO affect someone besides themselves.
