亞利桑那州圖森市,2025年6月2日(GLOBE NEWSWIRE)——根據律師安德魯·施拉夫利(Andrew Schlafly)在《美國醫生與外科醫生雜誌》夏季刊中的文章,賭博成癮在許多方面比物質濫用更為嚴重,包括自殺率。一項瑞典研究估計,賭徒的自殺率是普通人群的15倍。

施拉夫利指出,賭博會導致多種身體健康問題,包括高血壓、心血管疾病、睡眠困難和消化性潰瘍。他還提到,病態賭博與額顳葉癡呆、帕金森病和肌萎縮側索硬化症有關。精神健康方面的損害包括重度抑鬱發作、焦慮或物質使用障礙的發作或加重,以及強烈的羞愧感、衝動決策和欺騙行為。

施拉夫利估計,現在約有一半的美國人參與賭博。2023年,桌上遊戲和老虎機的總支出達到490億美元。極度賭博成癮影響約5%的人口,年輕成年人中的比例更高。他報告指出,通常不到10%的成癮賭徒會尋求幫助來克服這一習慣。

他寫道:「不再需要前往賭場就能失去一生的積蓄。」他警告說,人工智能(AI)根據個體的弱點量身定制的賭博方式正在侵入每個人的手機,尤其是對青少年這一特別脆弱的群體。

自2018年最高法院在《墨菲訴NCAA案》中的裁決以來,39個州已經合法化體育賭博。到2021年,僅在體育賽事上就有572億美元的賭注。施拉夫利指出,今天每年有數百起可疑的體育表現與異常的投注活動相關聯。

隨著一種巧妙的新方式在法律上繞過州對賭博的監管,賭博可能變得更加普遍:即通過事件合約進行賭注,這在聯邦層面是由商品期貨交易委員會(CFTC)以非常寬鬆的方式進行監管的。這包括對選舉結果的賭注,可能會吸引更多人參與,使更多腐敗不可避免。

施拉夫利建議,「重大問題原則」(Major Questions Doctrine)是一種法律機制,可能有助於限制這種瘋狂的擴散。

《美國醫生與外科醫生雜誌》由美國醫生與外科醫生協會(AAPS)出版,該協會自1943年以來一直代表所有專業的醫生。

這篇文章揭示了賭博成癮的嚴重性,並強調了其對社會和個人健康的影響。施拉夫利的觀點引發了關於現代賭博行為的深思,尤其是隨著科技的進步,賭博變得越來越容易接觸。這不僅是政府和社會需要面對的挑戰,也要求我們重新思考如何保護年輕人免受賭博的侵害。

在香港,隨著網絡賭博和賭博應用程序的興起,這一問題同樣值得關注。社會應該加強對賭博的教育和預防措施,並探索更有效的支持系統來幫助那些受賭博成癮影響的人。這不僅是個人的問題,更是社會的責任。

In a brightly lit indoor setting, likely a press conference room, two uniformed police officers flank a man in a plain brown t-shirt. The officers, wearing blue shirts with epaulets and badges, have a firm but neutral grip on the man's shoulders, directing him towards the cameras. The man [image uploaded] with short dark hair, is smiling subtly and maintaining eye contact with the lens.

Stretching across the foreground is a white-draped table, upon which a diverse collection of women's underwear is meticulously displayed. There are dozens of pairs in various colors, patterns, and styles, including solid hues of red, blue, pink, and black, as well as leopard print and other designs. Several microphones with news station logos are placed among the undergarments, pointing towards the man and officers.

Behind the table, a throng of journalists and photographers are actively documenting the event. Many are holding professional video cameras with large lenses and attached lights, while others are using DSLR cameras with flash attachments, and some are capturing footage with their smartphones. The room is illuminated by rectangular fluorescent light panels on the ceiling, casting an even glow. The overall atmosphere suggests a formal public presentation, possibly a police press briefing or an arrest announcement. A rugged post-apocalyptic survivor standing in a wasteland, hyper-realistic portrait. A young man with a shaved military-style haircut, dirt- and blood-stained face, visible scars, intense determined eyes. Wearing layered tactical clothing: torn and weathered jacket, patched sleeves, multiple scarves and cloth wraps in earthy tones, tactical pants with reinforced padding. Covered in survival gear: large worn backpack, utility pouches on chest and waist, rope, knives, handmade tools, makeshift firearm at the hip. Textures of dust, rust, scratches on all equipment. Cinematic dystopian lighting, muted earthy color palette, shallow depth of field, dramatic storytelling atmosphere, ultra-detailed, photorealistic, 50mm lens. Create a photorealistic and highly detailed image featuring the attached image walking confidently down a modern city street, accompanied by Jason Statham, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, and Jason Momoa acting as bodyguards.
John Wick (Keanu Reeves) is walking just beside or slightly behind the subject, holding an umbrella over him to shield from light rain.
The subject should be the central figure, wearing stylish casual clothing — like a fitted jacket, dark jeans, and sunglasses — exuding calm authority and cool charisma.
Statham, The Rock, and Momoa are dressed in black tactical-style suits, maintaining alert, protective stances, scanning the surroundings like professional bodyguards. John Wick wears his signature black suit and tie, looking composed as he holds the umbrella.
The setting is a downtown urban street with wet pavement reflecting city lights, parked luxury cars, and paparazzi in the background snapping photos.
The photo should look like a real paparazzi shot — slightly off-angle, mid-step motion blur, with realistic lighting and reflections.
Lighting: natural daylight with overcast skies, reflections from wet concrete, realistic shadows, subtle raindrops on the umbrella and clothing.
Camera realism: crisp detail on facial features and clothing textures, shallow depth of field emphasizing the group, with lens flare or light bloom for authenticity.
Mood & tone: grounded, cinematic, and stylish — feels like a moment from a celebrity entourage photo or action-movie press capture, taken with an iPhone by paparazzi.
Style: ultra-realistic, documentary-style street photography with modern cinematic sharpness.
