Sleeping pills can cause death!
According to CBS a study was shown that a person who takes 18 sleeping pills or less has a chance of 3.5 percent more of death then someone who doesn't. In the study it was shown that the risk was great for everyone but even greater for people between the ages of 18 to 55 years old. "What our study shows is that sleeping pills are hazardous to your health and might cause death by contributing to the occurrence of cancer, heart disease and other ailments,"-- Kripke. In my opinion people should be aware of the side effects of any drug before they start taking it, that way if something happens its on them and doctors can't be sued.

They should tell people all the risks if they are supposed to take them for long periods of time.
