You could say the same of every addiction.
You have no reasons to start drinking too much, nor to smoke too much, nor to gamble too much.
But people around the world, with different cultures, do it, because human kind is the same and have the same weaknesses.
It's always hard to understand why someone would have an attitude that is self destructive. But it happens, and if it happens to a people that's close to you, it's normal you feel sorry and try to help.
