Afghanistan's Child Drug Addicts

Afghanistan is now believed to have the youngest drug addicted\population in the world. Reporter Ramita Navai and director Matt Haan\discover the epidemic is a direct consequence of the war. In Kabul,\children orphaned by the fighting turn to heroin to blot out the\psychological impact of their loss. In shantytowns, refugees from\Helmand feed their wounded children opium to relieve the pain. Navai\also visits families of addicts in the remote mountainous region of\Badakhshan. Here, villagers smoke opium to suppress their appetite.\It's cheaper to buy drugs than food.
