“Natural” and “Organic” drugs are safer than synthetic ones.
D
The era of heavy heroin use is over.
E
If you have a stable job and family life, you’re not addicted.
F
Drug addiction is a choice.
Explanation
All six statements are myths. Prescription drugs can still cause harm or addiction, and “natural” or “organic” substances are not automatically safer than synthetic ones. Heroin use has not disappeared, and a person can have addiction while maintaining a job and family life. Addiction is a complex health condition, not simply a choice.
