Addiction News Daily is a collection of news stories about addiction and the use of alcohol and illicit drugs. The stories are chosen for their potential interest to Canadians and are of national significance. They may have implications for policy development in Canada, highlight a new or emerging trend, or report on international policy, programs, initiatives or research. Stories about gambling or smoking are included where there is significant content or overlap with alcohol and illicit drug use.
