Threats of drug habit have the multidirectional character. We see, they are connected with the threats of health and with the different social pathologies also, connection with crime closely as well as destructive influence on social reports. The object of article is few-known problems of threats seen in moral perspective. Authors' sentence drug habit acts in man's spiritual interior the largest ravages. Drug dependence leads to disorders perceptions in perspective of reality, lack of ability of sight world different men as well as not understanding only me. From one side the drug addict is a somatic ill (dependence), and from second side, he loses own subjectivity as human person. The basis of contained considerations in article--beside analysis of literature of--subject--were observations of persons dependent from the drugs. Seems, that in prophylaxis of drug habit, as and other dependences, legitimate is the position of larger pressure on aiming to limitation of drug experiments working, in this creating the attitude "I do not try first once". This type prophylaxis can in considerable degree reduce present drug threats.
