WE NEED TO TAKE ALL DRUG ABUSE SERIOUSLY

Regarding "Drug abuse rises as presidential campaign issue" (Dec. 
26): Alcohol and tobacco have America, and the rest of the world, in 
an addictive grip that cannot change.

It's the money. For one thing, we promote those drugs constantly in 
our life, every day, all day, morning noon and night. You cannot read 
a book, watch TV, go to a movie, read a magazine - your senses are 
under assault 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

Try going a day making an effort to notice every time your senses 
become aware of these drugs and how this happens. No wonder it is so 
difficult to quit using these drugs.
