依托咪酯原用於手術麻醉，特點在於起效快、時效短。近數年於亞洲盛行，鄰近地區多以「喪屍煙彈」、「上頭煙」稱呼。政府今年二月中將「太空油毒品」的主要成分「依托咪酯」列為毒品，截至八月初有6宗案件已經判刑。上月31日，保安局宣布「太空油毒品」正式命名為「依托咪酯」，杜絕毒販利用「太空油」刻意美化毒品以誘騙年輕人。 依托咪酯興起拉低吸毒者年齡層，惟成年人濫用新興毒品問題亦不容忽視。鼓勵求助者踏出第一步外，社會應理解濫藥根源。配合專業監管、藥物輔助及康復服務多方面支援，以至親友支持，方能促成改變。 今期《社情》探討新興毒品議題，內容包括： 毒理學與濫用藥物 吸毒年輕化？Gen Z和Gen Alpha 服食毒品趨勢 藥物緩害策略與介入 戒毒及輔導服務主要機構 關於《社情》 《社情》是香港社會服務聯會的季刊雜誌，旨在促進公眾了解社會議題，民生政策及社會服務計劃，隨《明報》發行3萬本，於商業地區附送，同時於多個網上媒體（例：AM730、TOPick、橙新聞）刊載。 《社情》昔日期數：https://shorturl.at/uzCY6 ...
