Cherry Healey: How to Get a Life

Are We All Addicts? (1x2)

Air date: Jun 28, 2012

Cherry Healey sets out to discover why we have become a nation of pill-poppers. In a world where we can buy legal drugs online in the time it takes to point and click, how informed are the choices we make, and how much do we rely on the pills we take? Whether we are chasing a legal high or trying to cure a physical problem, are we all addicted to something these days? She meets a range of young Brits, from thrill seekers to self-confessed addicts, to discover why we're all in love with the idea of the quick fix. On the way, will Cherry be able to resist having a go at laughing gas and smoking salvia, and can she kick a lifetime's habit of slimming aids?
