It's not helping the addicts. Nor is it helping the people who don't want to live under a brutally oppressive and cruel regime.

Personally I'd be more inclined to sacrifice people advocating cruel, oppressive policies for the greater good if we should consider sacrifice someone, as I consider those attitudes far more harmful.
This is the problem with advocating policies that sacrifices anyone: Someone else will want to sacrifice you
“Some of you may die, but that’s a sacrifice I’m willing to make”
Addicts are a sacrifice I'm willing to make for the greater good of the populace. For how much heroine can ruin people's lives I do not think it is oppressive or cruel to punish people with the loss of a life in perpetuating such a life ruining substance. But it is still helping those people due to the benefits of addicts no longer existing.
