drug addicting (extra)

Babies of drug users may be addicted at birth.The National Institute on Drug Abuse states that children of mothers who smoke regularly are more likely to be born with lower-than-average birth weights, and children of mothers who abuse cocaine are often born prematurely. Furthermore, these children may also be genetically predisposed to abuse drugs. To avert such pregnancy complications, nonprofit groups such as Project Prevention of Knoxville, Tennessee, have offered to pay habitual drug users as long as they participate in permanent birth control procedures. By engaging in such programs, drug users relinquish rights of procreation in order to satisfy monetary needs arising from their chemical dependencies.

A person's income level may affect his exposure to drugs
Proper nutrition, community resources or parental support may not be available to children who are raised in inner-city neighborhoods. Due to their families' income levels, these children may receive substandard social services from underfunded schools and understaffed hospitals. Low-income children who are not encouraged to perceive themselves as valuable members of society are likely to engage in recreational drug use in order to gain acceptance from peers as well as to achieve an illusory sense of control over their own lives. While many children of higher income families are also exposed to drugs, they are less likely to be affected by generational patterns of addiction that plague many members of lower-income communities.
