Nicky Campbell asks if Britain has a painkiller problem.
A new study's found almost 2 million people are 'misusing' prescription painkillers -- such as codeine and tremadol -- taking them as a way of 'getting high' or 'relaxing'.
More than 5 percent of the 15 to 59 years olds - interviewed for the England and Wales crime survey - admitted to misusing a painkiller prescribed for someone else.
Is this something you can relate to? Have you ever taken strong painkillers to relax? Get high even? Have you become addicted to prescription drugs? Even things you can get over the counter?
