Oh these junkies are not typically shooting heroin, or even fentynal. I was discussing what I observed in Riga. These junkies are mostly shooting krokodil & other forms of tranq. It's fairly difficult to obtain mainstream Western drugs in N.E. Europe.

Fun fact: Smoking fynt has been a thing in the US for at least 25 yrs. I recall David Berman discussing smoking the gel off of fentynal patches on the American Water album. Most people don't realize fentynal has been a prescription narcotic for a long time, became a popular drug in various underground music (my own experience/observation) scenes during the oxycotin peak.
