像 \"If the Chinaman cannot get along without his \'dope,\' we can get along without him.\" 这样的言词，含有大量的情感意素，Chinaman 和 dope 都不是正式、中性的说法，那是含有强烈道德歧视意味的措词。
这个委员会似乎自命有某种道德权力，所以翻译成「吸毒习惯防治委员会」比较恰当。

「毒瘾」或「药癖」应该都可以，但既然用了这样的词眼，则「形成」一词可以免了。所以，不妨改为「毒瘾防治委员会」或「药癖防治委员会」。

: 不是调查委员会， 它的任务可能包括研究， 干预， 咨询辅导(台湾叫咨商)， 呼吁政策的制订和改变，为滥用毒品者代言，提供立法建议等等方面。
