I'd guess the number one addiction amongst Britons by a country mile is staring at the goggle box for several hours a day every day, closely followed by gawping at other screens found on mobile phones and computers.

I've acknowledged in this thread that I'm a nicotine addict and both parents died prematurely because one was also hooked on it and the other could never get enough whisky down his neck. Neither they or I, nor I suspect any other addict of anything else ever had a knife held to their throat or gun to their head.
People use phones far far more than televisions.

Edit: can something be number one by a country mile and closely followed by number two?
