Il gioco d’azzardo porta con sé un rischio che, in particolare gruppi di persone ad alta vulnerabilità, può sfociare in una vera e propria dipendenza comportamentale (Gioco d’Azzardo Patologico - GAP).

    International conference New Drugs 2014
    In recent years we have witnessed a new phenomenon that has revolutionized youth trends, and not just with respect to the use of drugs. To traditional substances (cannabis, cocaine, heroin, etc. ) New Psychoactive Substances of synthetic origin have been added, that are still little known with regard to their characteristics and to the risks that they pose to human health. In addition to this, even the analytical methods needed to recognize them in laboratory and to prevent and combat trafficking and smuggling are unknown both on the Italian territory, but also at the European and international level.
