Drug abuse is still, in great part, a mental health issue, ergo a healthcare system issue. Am I right?

Something this doesn't really talk about is that because most countries pay for healthcare out of taxation preventative strategies ( smoking bans, sugar levies etc) are more likely to become national policy which may contribute to the difference in obesity too.
