A program in Canada managed to reduce needle sharing & reduce injecting of crack cocain by promoting smoking of cocaine as an alternative - a classic application of harm reduction principles, to shift people away from the most harmful forms/types of drug use. Admittedly, this requires a progressive enabling environment, but we should all be thinking about how to actively reduce the riskiest forms of drug use in our countries.
For details, see the article below.
