Heroin Addiction: What Are the Legalilties Surrounding Tobacco?

Question by Alyssa C: what are the legalilties surrounding tobacco?

Best answer:

Answer by John Mc
The legalities surrounding tobacco is that it is a recognized “addiction” by the government’s own surgeon general….but because of the revenues brought in daily, it is perpetuated generation after generation after generation.
BASICALLY…it’s a government sanctioned addiction
PLEASE read and consider this important information:
The 1964 and subsequent 1988 U.S. Surgeon General’s reports conclusively, irrefutably and undeniably stated that ‘heroin and nicotine were of equal addictive strength’. In short…anyone indulging in either heroin or nicotine (tobacco) is an addict. Top that off with the fact the report also states conclusively, irrefutably, and undeniably that smoking tobacco causes cancer.
If you don’t believe me…access the reports…it’s easy enough to do.
The government and businesses want you to look at the guy with a crack pipe, or the person with a needle in his arm and think to yourself, “What a pathetic, lowlife addict!”
BUT…they don’t want YOU to recognize the fact that if you smoke tobacco, or use tobacco products, YOU TOO are an addict. Why? Because making you realize you’re an addict takes money away fro the government and businesses.
So society-at-large keeps employing and perpetuating the euphemisms “smoker” and “smoking” to make you feel comfortable with this government sanctioned addiction.

Heroin Addiction: Pain Medication…a Friend Is Addicted to Oxy Cotton – Don’t Know How to Spell It -?

Question by howdigethere: Pain medication…a friend is addicted to oxy cotton – don’t know how to spell it -?
She needs pain medication for pain, but is now hooked. Is there any other non-narcotic pain med that will provide relief?

Best answer:

Answer by Billie77
When a person is addicted to a narcotic, they will not feel pain relief from a non narcotic medicine. if your friend is willing to talk to her medical doctor openly, the doctor can form a program to get her off of the heavy drugs and into something that is not narcotic. It’s going to take a doctor and perhaps a pain relief clinic to help your friend. Physical therapy is very important in dealing with pain.

I Have a Question About “Babies Born in Addiction”?

Question by Anjel: I have a question about “Babies born in addiction”?
please help me understand (if you know)…
I know what addiction is (no cure)
I know what an addict is (once one always one)
so if a baby is born in his or her mother’s addictions (crack or heroin is what I’m looking into) will the baby ALWAYS be an addict?
What I’m trying to ask is since an addict will always be an addict will a “drug baby” born into addiction always be one and if that child ever did any drugs (later in life) will it cause an automatic relapse?

Best answer:

Answer by dizzkat
I will watch your answers as they come in- I never thought about the later affects of drug use on infants born with that drug in their system. My best guess would be that any drug entering the child’s system at any time will cause reactions we can only guess at rather than the expected ones. The neurologic and physical damage done by the drugs during fetal developement may alter the normal reactions to future drug use.
