Our unique, specially manufactured foil, is interleaved with tissue, and is now also available in shrink wrapped packs of 20 sheets.
Brown heroin is manufactured to be smoked, and smoking heroin is much less dangerous than injecting it.
These packs of 20 sheets are ideal for heroin injectors who you want to encourage to make the transition to smoking, but for whom 50 sheets is too many. Just having the pack available makes smoking a constant option - and a number of trials have found that it is an effective way of encouraging injectors to switch to smoking more often.

Quality
The foil in our packs is the finest 100% pure aluminium. It is rolled without lubricating oil, so there is no smoke to be burnt off before it's used.
The interleaved sheets remove the need for a cutting blade to be supplied with sheets – so there is no risk of injury.
Research
There is now a study, published in the online peer reviewed Harm Reduction Journal, that describes the impact and effectiveness of the provision of foil as part of a comprehensive service for injecting drug users.

Practice Notes
Smoking heroin is associated with lower levels of dependence than injecting, and every dose of heroin that is smoked rather than injected has no risk of HIV, hepatitis C, or hepatitis B transmission, and far less risk of overdose.
To help encourage transition from injecting to smoking, and to encourage heroin smokers into contact with services, Exchange Supplies have again taken the initiative to arrange the manufacture of unique foil packs containing both 50 and 20 sheets of high quality 100% aluminium foil, each interleaved with tissue, to help drug services encourage injectors to switch to smoking heroin as an alternative route of administration, and to encourage heroin smokers into early and regular contact with services.
There are extensive practice notes to assist the effective distribution of foil on the page describing the foil 50 sheet packs...
We have also made a short video with clear instructions on how to make an efficient foil pipe for smoking heroin or crack cocaine - to see it on our youtube channel, click here.
We made this video because many injectors went straight to injecting as a route of administration, and don't know how to smoke. Demonstrating how to make a pipe can help encoruage injectors to move to smoking as the way in which they take their drugs.

Why don't you supply the silver boxes any more?
We used to supply 40 packs of 20 sheets dispatched in an attractive silver display box for easy display and distribution, but following a price rise in the cost of the packs, we stopped doing the boxes so that we could keep the price the same.
