Addictive substance - maa

Are there any health problems in your country as results of drug use?

Drug abuses in Thailand cause both physical and mental health problems. Different types of drug uses also cause different type of diseases. Some diseases are top epidemic problems for long time. For example, sharing needles of Heroin or other drugs among injection drug user is a significant risk of HIV transmission or Hepatitis B or C virus infections. Higher numbers of smoking people tend to increase chronic diseases such as, vascular or respiratory diseases, including communication diseases like Tuberculosis. Some alcoholic or addicts with tobacco, marijuana or inhalants progress some psychiatric disorders in long term. Also drug uses for “rapid effects” are indirect causes of sexual transmission diseases, because of unawareness of condom use. Drug abuses are a cause for many health problems, apart from other causes, such as genetic, environment, or behaviors and these problems do not happen not only my country but other countries as well.
