Congrats in quitting!
Was in Peru (and Colombia on the way back) and tho there can be plenty leaf around, but there is no drugs problem near the level of "civilized" countries - it's definitely a stupid "civilized world disease".
Only reason to have some leaves was because of altitude in some areas - it's soo damned high up, there is a lack of oxygen and chewing something helps release... dunno what.. lung blood vessels or something (we had a doc with us and he described the effect) - and helped ya breath easier. The natives use it as a custom, not for drugs purposes - more health-related.
Basically... when it's available, nobody cares - it's just not part of the culture (excluding medicinal).
PS... BTW... These "natives" do shit we just could not do - amazing! *lol* They are very fit - obviously the lifestyle plays a role - no McDonalds :-)
