According to the law or principles of attaining services or goods, is that things of lower price attract massive patronage, now coming from a country whose economy isn't stable rather declining regularly, these tends to make user's get attracted to some substance which can be harmful to the body but due to its lower cost and easy availability they don't mind they attain.

Even before out economy became this bad people go for the "quatity over quality" ideas, I won't blame the users though but the government, a country that has stable or better economy GDP won't be struggling for clamping down dangerous and harmful substances.
The rate of which people go for quatity more than quality is so high even without minding it is harmful or not, mostimes when conduct a research in any part of the country in Nigeria pertaining addiction to a particular substance, either food or drinks or drugs you will find out it is sold cheap so that's the exact strategy they used to magnet customer.

It is hard to find any addictions or addictive person being addicted to a very expensive substances if he is an ordinary person and not a billionaire, even been wealthy it might not be that simple to be addicted compare to an average human been sold something that's very affordable.

Addiction is usually tends to either the substances is free or very affordable that will channel thmind out of any harmful effect that might cause, that's just how quick people get use to any substance, the availability and the cost. Due to this common habit on us to many people have developed severe health challenges that could have been prevented.

So bad manufacturer are now rampant in the market sector now making fake products with very affordable price to glue customer from going away and to worsen situation there are NO NAFDAC number as authentication. It is so bad especially in Nigeria. It is this mindset that brought about counterfeit product. All products and goods now have a dual, even getting the original is difficult.

Like I said before the counties economy contributed massively to this unfortunate situation we're facing, an economy with standardized product made available with moderate price would block other means for counterfeit.

I once read about the massive increase of smokers in Nigeria about 14million and counting, to me that number is even lesser to today, the way young boys and surprisingly girls also, that I've seen with my eyes too. I've even heard of a father and son smoking cigarettes together, that's a misplaced home training right there.

Its nearly impossible to walk by any street or block in Nigeria and you won't see a vendor for cigarettes and alcoholic drinks. When you feel like confronting this so called vendors their replies always me shocked. This is harmful to the body why selling it? They replied by saying "its not their problem as far they're seeing money from it" so they make more money seeing other people go down the drain on addiction. That's so bad!
Addiction mostly affects the poor more than the rich base on research I personally know that.

In clamping down this bad vendors or sellers, the manufacturers also there comes in the government (NAFDAC), if putting a complete stop on importation of hard drugs is not feasible they should increase the taxes on hard drugs no matter how little they think it is, nothing is too small for body damage, alcoholic drinks taxes also should be higher this will frustrate those illegal importers and gradually the substances will become scarce. They are other ways but the main step lies with the Government.

Thanks for stopping by great readers.
Peaceout.

Hard, cheap and fake drugs have become very affordable especially in this our country that it is so alarming because our younger generation are getting too addicted to it that the ratio of addiction between the young ones and adult is really high

Alot of times those sellers of such substances don't really care about the end results as long as they get paid which is not right and the lack of government involvement in such situations is also a major error in their part most especially the NAFDAC

I hope somebody gets to read this and save his or herself from further chaos

Thank you for sharing sir @chizzy100

Drugs is not something one should get involve in, I could still remember a guy staying with us who's into drugs, that has made him lost opportunity in so many things in life.

That's so sad seeing him working up and down now doing nothing.
