Thus, American media have published an interesting statistics that have put the number of deaths from drugs per year in perspective to better understand the size of the problem facing Americans.
According to statistics, 64 thousand Americans died in 2016 of drug overdoses, which are nearly equal to American victims in the Vietnam, Iraq, and Afghanistan wars, combined.
65 thousand American soldiers and troops have died in these three conflicts. While the first impression seems that war takes more lives than other causes, drugs in silence have the same consequences for mankind.
It is also important to mention that the number of drug victims may be even higher, since drug business causes many people to die from gang disputes, often not calculated as the consequences of narcotics. /Gazetamtro
