More OD Deaths Linked to Smoking Drugs Than Injecting Them

CONTRADICTORY? –

Feb. 15, 2024 – While the number of adults who injected drugs increased during that period, the data now points to a high number of people who are smoking drugs. The latest research is the largest look at how Americans took the drugs that killed them. Reports came out of California found smoking fentanyl was more common than injecting it. Early research has suggested smoking fentanyl is somewhat less deadly than injecting it because it’s not as concentrated as it is in a syringe, the AP noted, but both methods carry a risk of overdose and it’s not yet clear that smoking the drug will reduce overdose deaths.
