Summary
Teen drug, alcohol, and tobacco use in the U.S. continues to decline, with record-low usage levels reported in 2023, according to the University of Michigan’s Monitoring the Future survey.
Among 12th graders, 66% reported no recent use of alcohol, marijuana, cigarettes, or e-cigarettes, while 80% of 10th graders and 90% of 8th graders avoided these substances entirely.
Experts attribute the decline partly to reduced peer pressure during the pandemic.
However, nicotine pouch use has doubled among 12th graders, raising concerns.
Despite pop culture’s glamorization of smoking, teen cigarette use remains low.
Aboriginal is mostly associated with Australia, but since this is a Canadian study I thought it would be helpful to link to the tribes there.
For North Americans the term most often heard in popular usage is ‘Indigenous’
Oh! Doy lol I should have picked up on that my fault! :) ty
I just wondered how you cannot get rid of tobacco as an aboriginal it seems XD probably rituals?
Quite the opposite actually, and not really amusing in the slightest:
