WARREN — A new online survey conducted by the National Safety Council indicates that many Americans don’t know their painkillers contain dangerous drugs called opioids.
The survey also indicates that many don’t know it is a felony to share them and that they’re unconcerned about addiction — even though “most have reason to worry.”
The survey, released during a news briefing webinar last week, said 29 percent of respondents reported taking opioid painkillers in the past three years.
