Well, it created lots of morphine addicts. Soldiers treated with morphine for the pain of their injuries usually became addicts.

In 1898 Bayer began marketing of Heroin as a non-addictive morphine substitute, cough suppressant, and cure for morphine addiction. Many surviving civil war veterans that were morphine addicts switched to Heroin and became Heroin addicts.
