Drug users to be offered free foil to help them cure addiction
Drug users are to be offered free foil, used as a surface to heat up drugs like heroin, to encourage them to get help for their addiction.

New laws will allow drug treatment providers to offer the aluminium foil as part of efforts to get addicts into treatment, and to protect their health.
The Advisory Council on the Misuse of Drugs (ACMD) made the recommendation.

Home Secretary Theresa May announced in a written ministerial statement that she had accepted the ACMD's advice. She said mechanisms will be put in place to monitor the provision of foil.
