Description
This full-color, 8-page booklet exposes heroin as one of the worst of the illegal drugs, addicting 80,000 people a year, and killing thousands, either from its narcotic effects or from the infections it spreads like HIV/AIDs and hepatitis.
It stresses the great difficulty of breaking heroin’s addiction and the severe withdrawal symptoms addicts suffer. It lists the short- and long-term health effects of heroin use and concludes by suggesting sources for help in quitting the drug.
This booklet is also available in Spanish.
