I agree, that's why I would like to see locked down rehabilitation for short periods with a long leash (2 years probation with drug testing). Keep them thinking. The lockdown means that they can't get out and they have no contact with the outside. Keeps the enablers off the doorstep.

Best way is to give them all the free "BREAKING BAD" heroin they want and let them kill themselves. Stops robberies too.

Got a question for ya. Has anyone here smoked? Did ya quit? It was real easy was it not? Hell no it was not easy. same with drug addition, you have to really want to quit to quit. There is nothing that can be done until the addict wants to quit, support is not really a option until the first step is taken. I lost my son to drugs..
Just sayin, the "G"

It is very difficult for people to stop their addictions, whether it is to alcohol, nicotine, or "hard" drugs. I think we can learn from the current smokers among us about the difficulty they face. Studies have shown that nicotine is more addictive than heroin, and I have had several patients over the years who have advised me: "I used to be addicted to heroin and cocaine, and I quit them, but I can't quit these damn things (while patting their shirt pocket containing their cigarettes)".

I had a change of heart. I was a three pack a day smoker back in 2000. I ruptured my heart and when I came too three days later I was breathing without all the congestion caused by smoking. They took my
heart out for just over two hours and rebuilt it. They cleaned out my lungs while they had me open. I spent thirty one days in the hospital and I have not had any desire to smoke again. The rupture was caused from heavy lifting but I'm sure the smoking didn't help. I wouldn't recommend doing what I did to give up smoking, but its the way I did it.

My dad was a cigar smoker (white owls 5pk .47 cents). He quit maybe
fifteen years before his passing.

You have to admit, heroin is very moorish.
