The is the 2nd Publication of the Researcher on new and a very burning issue" Heroin Addiction As Big Threat for Rural Areas of Faisalabad in Pakistan. Easy availability of drugs is conducive to drug addiction. In Pakistan any drug can be obtained freely and can be purchased from the counter without producing proper prescriptions. People who have a tendency to undergo fits of depression obtain and use drugs without any restraint. Heroin enters the brain quickly. It slows down the way you think, slows down reaction time, and slows down memory. This affects the way you act and make decisions. Heroin affects your body. Heroin poses special problems for those who inject it because of the risks of HIV, hepatitis B and C, and other diseases that can occur from sharing needles. These health problems can be passed on to sexual partners and newborns. Heroin is super-addictive. Heroin is highly addictive because it enters the brain so rapidly. It particularly affects those regions of the brain responsible for producing physical dependence.
