How is Internet addiction different from cigarette or drug addiction?

According to the president of Turkish Association of Information Technologies, Internet addiction is an illness both physical and psychiatric. It’ s actually more dangerous than any other type of addictions because other addictions are completely harmful and bad, for example, we advise people to quit cigarette or drug addiction. Internet addiction, on the other hand, is different. It can also be called technology addiction. This is a psychological disease, but it doesn’ t have a medical cure. It needs to be tackled with education.
