On 22 February this year, students were informed about the fight against the disease at a round table on "Countering the spread of drug addiction among young people" at the Faculty of Automotive Engineering. During the event, the speakers noted that drug addiction is one of the most pressing problems worrying the general public around the world and the level of public danger of crimes related to the illegal use of narcotic drugs and psychotropic substances is very high. Increasing consumption of narcotic and psychotropic substances leads to an increase in serious diseases and, above all, in crime. Drug addiction is a phenomenon closely linked to crime. Firstly, serious crimes are committed in order to make a profit from the extraction or prevention of drugs. Secondly, crimes are often committed under the influence of drugs. It is all the more regrettable that this disgusting disease, which has been called the "plague of the century", is spreading among young people. It is stressed that the link between drug addiction and criminality is manifested in the commission of criminal acts caused by the trafficking of narcotic drugs.
