How would you describe the difference between a vice and an addiction?

Some say an addiction is the same as a vice. But there is a difference between them. A vice is the subject of addiction, while addiction refers to the underlying biochemical and psychological processes at work that consistently drive the person to the vice as a coping skill. Vice is defined as "bad or immoral behavior or habits.” Being an addict means being either physically or psychologically dependent on something. That is, you do not have the power to stop doing it. Your body actually needs it to function. You cannot lead your daily life without using or doing it because it is compulsive. You might be addicted to heroin, nicotine, alcohol or even exercise. Merely choosing a potentially detrimental vice does not necessarily mean you are addicted to it. For instance, some people smoke only socially or drink occasionally. This does not mean they are addicted to nicotine or alcohol. Some people might even do harder drugs occasionally, but this still does not make them an addict.
