In 1996, the National Household Survey on Drug Abuse, which may actually underestimate illicit opiate (heroin) usage, an estimated 2.4 million individuals had used heroin at some time in their lives, and nearly 216,000 of those individuals reported using it within the last 30 days before the survey was held. The survey report estimates that there were 141,000 new heroin users in 1995, and that there has been an increasing trend in new heroin use since 1992. A large majority of these recent new users were smoking, snorting, or sniffing the heroin, and most were under age 26. Estimates of usage for other groups of age also increased, particularly among youths age 12 to 17: the incidence of first-time heroin usage among this age group increased fourfold from the 1980s to 1995.

Heroin Abuse
Heroin usage is usually injected, sniffed/snorted, or smoked. Typically, a heroin user may inject up to four times in one day. Injection intravenously provides the greatest intensity and fastest onset of euphoria (7 to 8 seconds), intra muscular injection produces a relatively slow onset of euphoria (5 to 8 minutes). When heroin is sniffed or smoked, peak effects are usually felt within 10 to 15 minutes. Although smoking and sniffing heroin don't produce a "rush" as quickly or as intensely as intravenous injection, NIDA researchers have confirmed that all three forms of heroin administration are highly addictive.

Heroin and other opiates are spreading amongst the states of New England area as well as New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Connecticut. The state of Washington has also a problem with it partly caused by is proximity with the city of Vancouver, Canada.

It was noticed that the state of Texas had an increased problem with heroin and opiates.
