Things will never slide off you so easily again.
Teenage smoking is up again.
Ditto teenage drug-taking, teenage drinking, teenage obesity, teenage abortions and teenage motherhood. Once again, we come top of the European pops in all these things. But we've got our downside, too. As I'm not a killjoy, or someone who had a boring teenage and, therefore, envies kids today all these things, I am obviously not complaining about this state of affairs. But I do believe that these statistics are interesting in that they demonstrate the absolutely shameful waste of resources that is government propaganda, which is, of course, funded by the taxpayer.
