Wrong. :). Images are a strong reinforcement for society. Images that glamorize one action or another reinforce those actions. Images that discourage the same actions also affect people. You are literally wrong. Consider replacing tazmanian with cynical.

It explains, partially, why smoking is on a decline in this country.

People struggle with addictions their entire lives. They turn to pharmaceuticals, psychiatrists, or even to god, and they still can't beat it. It won't change anything.

That's an inaccurate generalization.

Deaths from Fentanyl overdose would decline rapidly if people would stop using this drug to get high. Nobody is running around forcing people to take this useful medication in an off-script way, and so they end up dead due to improper use. It's a reasonable outcome to an action the person chooses to take, so no sympathy from me.
So long, and thanks for all the fish...

ITT: Poor harmless fentanyl lying in wait for addicts.

Wrong. So very ill informed. These people overdosing on fentanyl don't know enough about their drugs to know it isn't heroin, they just think it's really strong, so when they're overdosing they're unwittingly taking fentanyl not using it on purpose.

This is fucking tragic, as overdose deaths always are, but that poor mom obviously has her head in the sand. He was not an addict, but still felt compelled to go into a public bathroom to shoot up what he thought was heroin? This is not normal behaivior for someone who is not an addict.
