Meanings
nounheroinist (plural heroinists)
plural heroinists
- A heroin addict.
Heroinists and cocainists are ever so much more likely to become so, a condition which is perhaps due to the fact that the addicts of heroin and cocain are, as a rule, of a lower class. The author, in his experience, has found this to be the case.
