Young people who use alcohol and drugs also are more likely to be victims or perpetrators of violence, engage in unplanned and unprotected sex, experience school failure, or be seriously injured from driving or engaging in other risky behaviour, while impaired. Young people who use tobacco are more likely than others to drink heavily later, or use illicit drugs. If we can successfully keep our young people from smoking, we may help prevent other drug use. Fewer young people see harm in using drugs. Yet, understanding the harms associated with drug use, is one of the greatest deterrents to drug use by youth.
Young people report that getting alcohol, tobacco, and most illicit drugs is very easy.
