Hi Prasenjit,

A drug is any substance other than food, which when inhaled, injected, smoked, consumed, absorbed via a patch on the skin or dissolved under the tongue causes a physiological as well as a behavioural change in the body.

Taking of drugs for the purpose other than clinical use in a concentration which impairs physical, physiological and psychological functions of the body is called drug abuse.

Causes of drug addiction:

  • Genetic tendency
  • Peer pressure
  • Stress
  • Experimentation
  • Addictive personality
  • Environment
