Whether the means of drug prevention?
Drug prevention is an important step of development in any society. The state, concerned about this problem always allocates funds for the creation of special institutions and documentaries

All right, the epidemic of this disease reduces rates, but only magnifies them. But you never know, maybe because of the prevention of drug abuse today, drug users are only 10-13% population, not 30 not 50%?
Believe me, all measures have their effect, they're just not as effective, as I would like. But don't blame the government, the number of drug addicts in the country is only growing. Let's consider all means of prevention, and draw conclusions.
Prevention of drugs should be carried out regularly, starting from school. Modern society often distorts reality, protecting children, it's wrong. Boys and girls have from a young age to understand, that drugs lead to poverty, spoil the health and cause loved ones to feel shame for this society.

The Ministry of education introduced the long class hours and lessons of security and life safety, where the teachers should tell the children about all the dangers, lurking in the lives of students.
