"AFGHANISTAN OPIUM WARS"

Khudadidad, age 37, smokes opium as his 2-year-old son Idrees sleeps in a hammock inside their home in the village of Sar Ab in Badakhshan province. The father said that when the child is addicted the family blows opium smoke into his mouth when he is sick because there are no medical facilities in the area.
