A Look at Heroin Abuse in Our State

|

Over the past few months I’ve posted several graphics and charts about heroin abuse in our state. I thought it would be good to put together a brief synopsis, of the various graphs and maps I’ve done.

Heroin abuse doesn’t effect all counties equally, indeed some counties are particularly hard hit.

Overall in the past decade, heroin deaths are up dramatically across the state.

Indeed, heroin is the fastest growing reason people are checking themselves into drug rehab facilties in our state.

The growth of heroin has displaced the abuse of cocaine and crack in our state.

Despite common myth, drug possession arrests nationally follow closely the racial breakdown, at least in 2015.

U.S. Proposes A Ban On Smoking In All Public Housing.

Smoking indoors does a lot of damage to property, by leaving a thick film of soot on the walls and ceilings of buildings. The public shouldn't have to pay for cleaning on public housing due to smokers. Smoking is a disgusting habit due to all the pollution it produces indoors and out, and with all the cigerette butts.

If people want to smoke, they can smoke outdoors, just like they have to do in most other public buildings in most states. You can't light up in a library, an office building, grocery store, or most government buildings anymore.
