Research news
Can smoking heroin be less risky than injecting?
[cid:image014.jpg at 01D8EAEA.59ED4B40]A study recently published in Harm Reduction Journal<https://bit.ly/3U4M4nH> examined a Seattle-based organization's efforts to introduce heroin pipes as a means to diminish harms associated with injection drug use.

"We hope if people have the opportunity to move from injecting to smoking, then we'll be able to keep them healthier longer and give them more of an opportunity to work on their drug use behaviors in such a way where ultimately, they might be able to reduce their use altogether," said Dr. Thomas Fitzpatrick, fellow (Allergy and Infectious Diseases) and the study's lead author.

"By moving from injecting to smoking, there's the possibility that people will not experience some of the complications with their heroin use, like overdose or skin and soft tissue infections - and then sometimes those infections going into the bloodstream and causing more serious, life-threatening infections."
