I don’t know if it’s a factor, but opioids, heroin, many pain killers cause constipation.

Yep, opioid use is rampant.
This “opioid” angle is a broken record and really not a valid issue for the scant few still able to get opioids by long-term prescription. There’s so few anymore, it probably doesn’t even rise to the level of a “significant sample.” Of course, that doesn’t apply to the opioids taken from black market sources - but those folks are hardly the type to worry about constipation. Blame diet, low water intake, lack of exercise, or laxative dependence. Opioid use would rank at the bottom of nexus causes (unless, of course, you choose to believe the government propaganda sources).
