bout 62 million people in the United States ages 12 and older, or 29 percent of the population, are current cigarette smokers, according to the 1996 National Household Survey on Drug Abuse. This makes nicotine, the addictive component of tobacco, one of the most heavily used addictive drugs in the United States.

Heroin Abuse – Short & Long Term Effects of Heroin Addiction
Heroin is a particularly powerful addictive drug that is processed from morphine from the seedpod of Asian poppies. The end product of the process is a white or brown powder that can be sniffed, smoked or dissolved and injected directly into the bloodstream.
Some of the more common names for the drug on the street are smack, “H”, skag and junk.
First time users are attracted to the drug’s reputation for producing a euphoric rush.
The National Drug Intelligence Center reports that surveys estimate that 3,091,000 United States residents tried Heroin at least once in the year 2002. The National Household Survey on Drug Abuse indicates that 2% of high school seniors are among this number and that at least 1% of them inject the drug.
