Drug abuse in Britain is on the increase. Although it is unlikely that drug-taking can be eliminated altogether, it is hoped that the increase in the number of addicts can be reduced. Most at risk are teenagers and schoolchildren. Dr Iftikhar Akhtar , Head of the Regional Addiction Unit at AH Saint's Hospital,
Birmingham, explains the dangers of addiction and the aims of the recently-launched 'Just Say No' campaign. Music is provided by Talet Aziz
