--S-A-- The marketing of an addictive drug

[Guest guest]

The same can be said for Hydrocodone. It is highly addictive, doctors do not

advise their patients that it is and the withdrawal symptoms are very ugly. I'm

told it is harder to quit than cigarette smoking. Yet, Hydrocodon is a very

commonly prescribed drug for mild to moderate pain.
