It's difficult for the police to prosecute cocaine users because they need to catch them actually taking the drug. For example, London's Burning star John Alford is currently in jail serving a nine month prison sentence for supplying cocaine to an under cover reporter. He's another star who thought using cocaine was " the done thing" until it was too late.

Despite the obvious risk to their careers, cocaine snares many young stars in it's trap.

After quitting Take That, Robbie Williams checked into a celebrity clinic to dry out after months of bingeing on cocaine.
