Drug Addiction
Problem Statement
A drug is something which affects someone’s body. It is rapidly increasing in Pakistan especially in youngsters. Drug abuse not only affect the life of one person but it also affects people surrounding themselves. It is a social problem not a one person phenomena. In 2005, around 11 per cent of Pakistani drug users were HIV-positive, according to research. That figure had increased in 2011 to 40 percent. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drug_addiction_in_Pakistan#:
