Definition
禁毒 is a verb-object compound (离合词) meaning 'to ban drugs' or 'drug prohibition'. Like other separable verbs, 禁 and 毒 can be split when inserting aspect markers, duration, or measure words — e.g., 禁了三年毒 ('banned drugs for three years') or 禁过一次毒 ('banned drugs once'). It is also commonly used as a noun modifier, as in 禁毒工作 ('drug prohibition work').
