Smoke 'Em If You Got 'Em

You know about needle exchange programs and free condom programs, but how about Vancouver handing out free crack pipes in a pilot project to try and "engage" crack smokers and cut transmission of Hepatitis C. Here's the thing: How will this cut Hep-C when the crack users just use these new pipes and share THEM? How long before the free replacement pipes are as gross and disease-ridden as the ones they'll replace? Isn't anyone thinking this through?
