why do supermarket toilets have blue lights instead of the normal white strip lights

it often says on a sign "we have changed the lighting to deter anti-social behaviour" what they mean is that you cannot see your veins in this kind of light - have a look next time you go- so junkies cannot use it as a place to inject drugs.

i've only seen this in one supermarket round our way, and they've took em out now. They used to give me headache. After they'd gone i was chatting to a women, she said it was to stop people doing drugs in there. I'd never heard this, my friend said yes, they do it in some pubs too.
I don't know how they work.

These lights are to deter 'junkies' as their veins don't show up, they are fitted in many toilets, walkways, underpasses etc
