WHAT ARE YOUR REASONS TO USE DRUGS?

People often say that they don´t really know, or have never really think about it, but reasons generally fall into four categories:

• 

• Culture - the way of life in the world or the culture of particular minority groups was said to affect whether young people used alcohol or drugs.
• 
  

• Social life - in social situations like parties, people said that alcohol or drugs can increase their confidence and enjoyment.
• 
  

• Pressure from friends - people said that they felt pressure to ‘fit in’ with friends by drinking or taking drugs.
• 
  

• 
  

• Escaping from problems - drugs and alcohol could be used to get away from feeling depressed or from problems at home or in their personal lives.

WHO Tobacco Free Initiative (TFI)

The WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control and its guidelines provide the foundation for countries to implement and manage tobacco control. To help make this a reality, WHO introduced the MPOWER measures which correspond to one or more articles of the Framework Convention, to assist in reducing the demand for tobacco products at country-level. These brochures, endorsed by WHO and all its Partners in the Bloomberg Initiative to Reduce Tobacco Use, are intended to further this support, summarizing key data and recommendations in each of these policy areas.
