I am not a fan. It's like the difference between being a habitual drug user and being a drug addict. Some habitual drug users are not in fact addicts. They break off their use when it becomes a problem for them or no longer as gratifying and don't experience great difficulty in doing so. There is no good reason to impose a compulsion on the character to do the thing that the player is going to have them be doing all the time anyway.
However, there is a good reason to impose social disadvantages on a character who is leaving a string of unnecessary corpses behind him.
