Do you think there's any fallacy in the following statement:

Doctor, doctor I’m addicted to brake fluid
• Nonsense man, you can stop anytime

Sounds like Questionable Cause . Marriage is associated with divorce (actually, a requirement) but marriage is not the cause (i.e., the reason for) divorce.
