It possibly did....you've got to remember that back in the 80s kids were much more sheltered. We had very little kids tv then and this was a ground breaking story for a kids show. It was played out pretty grittly (for then)and not glamourised at all and certainly it was the first I knew of it being talked about to kids. The only thing that was every mentioned at our school was when a trend for sniffing aerosols stated and they said anyone caught doing it would be expelled, not why just that.
