Answer:

b. drug addiction

Step-by-step explanation:

Drugs are illicit substances that cause addictions. This makes drug users always want to use more drugs, affecting the life of the user as a whole. This is a public health problem as many people are drug users. The addiction caused by drugs is difficult to overcome, so treatments can not always recover the user. So stay away from drugs.
