If you have children, or work with children, you should take a look at this updated publication from the National Institute on Drug Abuse. They offer both a brief pamphlet and a complete edition useful for program planning. Both are free for download.

According to different surveys 12% of boys and 1% of girls have chewed tobacco or used snuff. Smokeless tobacco is just as addictive and harmful as tobacco that is smoked. 18% of high school seniors are daily smokers; 11% smoke 10 or more cigarettes per day. 70% of all children try cigarettes, 40% of them before they have reached high school.
Its really sad. We all need to now step up and try and do as much as we can to prevent drug abuse amongst the children and adolescents.
Suffering from an addiction. This website has a lot of great resources and treatment centers.
