I can tell you the last one-none. It’s a choice, so why single out drug smugglers or pushers?</div>
We’ve always had drunks and those dependent on alcohol. They very seldom commit crime to support their addiction. Drug users on the other hand frequently commit crime on an epic scale to support their habit. They often need sums in excess of £100 per day for drugs, they are unfit for work, so they get it by stealing. Since they can seldom if ever sell what they steal for anything like its value they have to steal considerably in excess of the cost of their habit.
