I don't know that they are less common, but less talked about would be Food addictions, Sex, Video Game, T.V., Adrenaline, Pain, Speed, Gambling, Porn.

People get addicted to all kinds of things. I have an addiction to my husband and his body :) Funny, but it's true!
Most of the time people formulate addictions to either distract them from something else, fullfill a need that isn't otherwise met, or because they have an actual physiological need for something.
My son is 8 years old and is Autistic. He has an allegy to milk protiens that causes his body to not digest them properly and thus the undigested protiens get reintroduced into his blood stream as something different that acts as an opiate. like kids with ADD, he doesn't react to depressants like normal people, he gets HYPER! So.....he has developed an ADDICTION to milk, cheese, yogurt, and the like. He's like a little crack addict accept instead of craving a drug, he will raid the refridgerator and drink a gallon of milk at a time if i'd let him....he's also been known to eat 4 boxes of pudding in one sitting. (that was before we understood his allergy)
Hope this was an interesting 'Addiction' answer.

i'd say smoking, 20% of the inhabitants nevertheless does it. yet i think it relies upon on what you call an eating ailment, in case you include undeniable previous weight problems, properly, that's probable extra common than smoking at this element (and in simple terms as risky to well being).
