Drug is

some people as a habit to get amusement. This habit of taking harmful is called
drug addiction. Drug addiction is a global problem. Especially, in the
under-developed countries the picture is very alarming. Many young people have
become addicted to drugs in our country. The person who once starts taking
drugs cannot stop taking it. There are some reasons behind people’s getting
addicted to the detrimental drugs. Of them political unrest, unemployment,
frustration are some of the main reasons which make them addicted to drugs.
Some people take drugs to forget their past or memories. Some people tale drugs
as a pursuit of pleasure. There is also another type of people at first take
drugs as a fun but it turns into an addiction later on. The aftermaths of drug
addition is very dire and despicable. The health of the addicts break down. The
addicts lose their mental power courage. They lose their social status and the
love of their near and dear ones as well. Various kinds of diseases grasp
them. They suffer from amnesia,
insomnia, nausea, physical weakness, blood pressure and from many other lethal
diseases. Their kidneys and livers also get damaged. Drug traffickers also play
a major role to instigate the young generation to this fatal habit. Once
anybody takes to this habit, he can hardly give it up. Many young people who
suddenly become drug addicts find difficult times to buy the costly drugs
marketed by the organized drug dealers. When their financial sources to buy
drugs become exhausted, they commit many social crimes.

looting, hijacking, killing, robbery and abduction. Drug addicts also become a
burden for the society. They never enjoy sound health and become crippled, in
most cases die, very shortly. It isa serious national issue of utmost
importance. Concerted efforts are required to stop this fatal practice among
the young generation of the country. So drug addiction should be stopped by any
means.
