Since 1999, the executions of drug smugglers have become more common in Indonesia, Iran, China and Pakistan. In March 2018, U.S. President Donald Trump proposed executing drug traffickers to fight his country’s opioid epidemic. 32 countries impose the death penalty for drug smuggling. Seven of these countries (China, Indonesia, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Vietnam, Malaysia and Singapore) routinely execute drug offenders. Asia and the Middle East’s tough approach contrasts with many Western countries who have legalized cannabis in recent years (selling cannabis in Saudi Arabia is punished by beheading).

No, but sentence them to life in prison without parole instead (NOTE: in the case only of "hard" drugs which have resulted in deaths in this country including fentanyl and horse tranquilizer as the main contenders but not only. Other drugs and what constitutes as hard enough is up for debate, and smaller amounts of things that are not of this deadly nature may not require LIFE in prison, but in the case of these kinds especially fentanyl, the person should serve life in prison for trafficking since it leads to the death of many innocent people. Plus, this will hopefully decrease the amount of fentanyl deaths we are seeing to a good number).
