उत्तर

‘Smack’ is a drug obtained from the latex of Papaver somniferum.

Explanation:

Smack, chemically known as diacetylmorphine or heroin, is derived by acetylation of morphine, which is extracted from the latex of the poppy plant Papaver somniferum. It is an opioid drug that slows down body functions and is commonly abused, often taken by snorting or injection. Sharing needles for its intake poses severe risks such as transmission of HIV-AIDS and Hepatitis B.
