STATS: PILL POPPING POPULAR FOR TEENS
Good news, teens are using less drugs. Bad news, there is an
exception.
State and national statistics say that fewer teens are using most
types of drugs. The percentage of Ohio teens who said they have tried
smoking cigarettes plunged from 73.1 percent in 1999 to 51.2 in 2007,
according to a state survey. Illegal drug use is dwindling or not
increasing in most areas.
But, amid the good news is a bit of bad news, to wit, prescription
abuse.
