trying to stop it is like trying to stop the use of drugs

Please, use the word 'narcotics'. I'm so sick of people moronically using the work 'drugs' to mean the same thing. They are not. The vast majority of 'drugs' are useful tools helping people to live their lives and recover from ill health. Thank you.

Please, kiss my arse. I won't use another word when the one I used is perfectly adequate.

From m-w.com, "drug: something and often an illegal substance that causes addiction, habituation, or a marked change in consciousness"

Get off your high horse. Stop thinking the rest of the world should join in with whatever little rules you've set yourself to follow in the use of language. Thank-you.
