I had a lover who was a heroin addict and contracted HIV through 
shared needles and later died.  (No, I'm not trolling or being 
facetious; I just don't have time to write how it affected me or 
how my life changed.)  Nonetheless, "smack" still means "the 
sound something makes when you hit it" to me, and not "street 
term for heroin."  

I think it's a fine name.  (I don't feel that way about the 
Gimp.)  Maybe if we get some other people whose lives have been 
impacted by heroin to chime in, the question will be settled 
quickly one way or the other.
