Health knowledge made personal

I just stumbled upon thesetwo nicotine delivery systems. (The WHO is alarmed about one of them.)
When reading about them, I couldn't help but think of Bill White's lecture on drug trends when he made this point: He also referenced the innovation of "rocking" cocaine with baking soda and offered a warning something to the effect of, "I can't tell you what the major drugs of abuse of tomorrow will be. But I can tell you that they are already here and that someone will discover a new way to use them." I was about to write that it was hard to imagine nicotine as a major drug of abuse, but then realized how blind I can be to the fact that it is a major drug of abuse. At any rate, it's hard to imagine nicotine being used the way that heroin, cocaine and other illicit drugs are used but maybe with a new method of administration and in conjunction with another drug? Maybe. Maybe not. But I am convinced that Bill White is right--there are other trojan horses coming. |
