Addiction

Addiction is the continued use of a mood altering substance or behavior despite adverse consequences, or a neurological impairment leading to such behaviors.

In Smurfs Media
In mainstream Smurfs media, the Smurfs have dealt with various forms of addiction. In the cartoon show episode "The Lure Of The Orb", Poet and some other Smurfs were addicted to the power of a magic orb given by Allura that gave whoever touched it the illusion of heightened inspiration, but in reality gave them a temporary boost of energy that left them feeling drained. The story was used as an allusion to drug use, a topic that would be dealt with in the crossover cartoon show special "Cartoon All-Stars To The Rescue".

In the comic book story "The Gambler Smurfs", the Smurfs dealt with gambling addiction as Lucky and a few other Smurfs brought into the village betting games from the human world that the Smurfs would soon fall prey to. In the latter half of the story, the Smurfs with the grudging help of Gargamel used the love of gambling against the duke of a nearby village who intended to turn the entire Smurf Forest into his own personal casino.

Empath: The Luckiest Smurf stories
In the EMPATH: The Luckiest Smurf story "Papa Smurf & Mama Smurfette", Empath would fall prey to alcohol addiction to deal with the heartbreak he suffered and the cultural embarrassment of Papa Smurf marrying Smurfette.
