what are effects of addicts on societyand on themselves?

Answer 1

An addict is psychologically or physiologically dependent on something. Every one is addicted to something if only food. If you mean addiction to street drugs the effects on society are many and mostly expensive and harmful. The effects of drugs on the individual, if they are street drugs, are also very deleterious and often fatal. The fact that the possesion and use of street drugs has been made illegal by society in most states and countries is a good indicator of their bad effect on that society and on the individuals using them
