Addiction to drugs is not a blessing hut a curse. Addicts take drugs like heroin, opium, tobacco, brown sugar, alcohol etc. At present there are more than 3,00,000 drug addicts all over the country. The addicts are mostly from well-to-do families. Psychologists inform a number of causes behind addiction. They say that the mystical experience of the addict apparently help to overcome frustration. But., addiction damages vital organs of the body. Desire for food and sleep of the victim is lost. Life slowly but inevitably invites death. To treat a drug addict is rather costly. So heavy-handedness of the police is a must. Mass-media should carry campaigns against It. It is a good sign that all voluntary organizations are trying to create awareness among people.
