Explanation:

drug addicts are looked down upon and shunned by society—their drug abuse is their own problem and they are just hurting themselves. But that is a narrow view of what is a large-scale societal issue. Drug addiction is not just a compulsion but an actual disease that requires treatment and compassion, just like any other chronic health condition.

social consequences of drug abuse HIV/AIDS (human immunodeficiency virus/acquired immune deficiency syndrome), violence, tuberculosis, fetal effects, crime, and disruptions in family, workplace, and educational environments (Box 7.1)-have devastating impacts on society and exact a cost of billions of dollars annually.

Vitamins can repair muscle damage when taken after an exhaustive exercise. During the process of an exercise activity muscles that are used develop micro tears within its fibers.

Taking vitamins would help aid in the repair of these damaged muscles quickly and will help you to recover from strenuous activities.
