Addiction, or dependence, as it is more fashionable to call it, excites controversy and speculation yet true understanding of the phenomenon remains elusive. In fact the area is fraught with speculation and acrimonious debate. Definition of terms such as ‘drug’, ‘addiction’, and ‘abuse’ is obviously less controversial than attempts to explain the nature of drug dependence, yet even the terminology is imprecise and overlain with subjective connotations. At its most basic, a drug, as defined by the World Health Organization, is simply ‘any substance which when taken into the living organism may modify oneor more of its functions’. This kind of definition is too wide to be of any use in a discussion of dependence: it covers everything from insulin to aspirin, penicillin to alcohol.

(A) is more accurate the older term “addiction.”
(B) has not always been the preferred term.
