	Slang
		Slang terms are often particular to a certain subculture - such as drug users, skaters, or musicians.
		Slang is sometimes confused with jargon which is the collection of vocabulary specific to a profession: medical terminology for example.
		With the growth of text messaging, slang terms have even adopted commonly used spellings which do not conform to the rules of formal language; thus what a youth of the 1960s might have called groovy, a youth of 2002 might call "phat", both verbally and in text messages.

		The term is used particularly of policies or programmes that aim to reduce the harm without necessarily affecting the underlying drug use; examples includes needle/syringe exchanges to counteract needle-sharing among heroin users, and self-inflating airbags in automobiles to reduce injury in accidents, especially as a result of drinking-driving.
