Strippers fall under the 'live and let live' heading for me. I'm not sure what drives someone to that particular career choice (and as Shauk noted, suspect it's different for each one), but they're not hurting anyone else in doing what they do. Nobody that I know has ever been bound up and dragged into a strip club against their will; if you don't like it, don't go.
Mind you, I have no moral objection to prostitution either. My input might not be what you're looking for.
I will say, however, that if you're prone to addiction you likely wouldn't have fared any better as a stripper. I'm not saying that all strippers are addicts, but it seems like a prominent part of that particular culture, from my limited dealings with it. Someone who is predisposed to drug or alcohol abuse stands a very high chance of getting hooked in that sort of environment.
