Alcohol is a drug!
No amount of alcohol is safe to
drink while pregnant
Tobacco is a drug!
From the first 20 Minutes to a
Lifetime there are benefits to quitting
smoking
In the 2006, the Surgeon General report stated:
“There is no safe level of exposure to secondhand smoke”
The 2010 Surgeon General Report took it one step further stating:
“ Any exposure to tobacco smoke – even an occasional cigarette or exposure to secondhand smoke – is harmful.”
“Marijuana is illegal,
addictive and harmful to the body especially
developing brains”
Many of our teenage youth report using
marijuana, on multiple occasions, as early as ten years of age, AND DO NOT
THINK it is WRONG for someone their age to
smoke marijuana
Addiction is a disease!

For each $1.00 invested in evidence

$18.00 in costs to society, including
the costs of incarceration, drug-related
crime, hospitalizations, and other
societal ills .
