    There is no evidence to back up the fact that these lights prevent drug use, all they will do is inject in another area by touch alone, so if anything it will cause further issues and probably see higher rates of problems.

    Its an old article but it appears the lights havent worked here and have caused other problems lol

    They have the blue lights in the toilets at our local bus station, they originally had very little lighting and were dark dingy disgusting holes, and now the blue lights are on you really cant see anything especially what your treading in, so very few people use them!

    Especially not when there are very posh public loos within a couple of minutes walk away!

    I went to the loo in town once and got covered in Tippex, it was all up the cubicle wall. Apparantly people sniff it, disgusting.

    Blue lighting is sometimes used in public toilets (restrooms) to make it more difficult for drug users to inject themselves (veins are harder to see).
