I disagree!

The very definition of an addict is that he is not capable of deciding out of his own free will what he puts into his body. He is a slave to his addiction. It is not only the government's mere right, but duty to protect him from further harm. Even when disregarding all effects on third parties, like driving under influence, operating equipment and social effects.

I agree!

Incidentally, this is why I think the government has no right to interfere with a woman's wish of abortion.
