Evidently there is a place in Finland that is called Lommila (-la or -lä is a very common ending for a name of a place) and its Swedish name is Gloms. This, of course, doesn't mean an addicton, but instantly thinking of the name "Lommy" when seeing this probably does...
Well, I don't think there is anything surprising on thinking of the name "Lommy" when seeing that... unless for a Finlander it should on first sight signify something else... but if I saw something like that, I think that's clear...

Wait... it is a sign of addiction... (Terrible. The worst sign of addiction is if you think - or convince yourself to think - that something is NOT a sign of addiction.)

And Gloms, well, I don't know how about you, but when I saw it here I thought immediately of Gollum... is THAT a sign?
