The LA Times says the death of Philip Seymour Hoffman is underscoring a huge surge in heroin use not seen since the 1970s and early 80s. Health officials say more than 660,000 Americans used heroin in 2012, nearly double the number from five years earlier. And today’s users are more affluent and tend to live in the suburbs or rural areas.
