The drugs that the government is most

worried about are stimulant drugs such as Ecstasy (or UE» as it is commonly known) and hallucinogenic drugs such as LSD. Many young people believe these drugs to be fashionable.
The government decided that it needed a new anti-drugs campaign. The survey showed that teenagers knew that drugs were bad for them but they could not actually name any health risk associated with particular drugs. 61 % of teenage drug-users would consider stopping using drugs if they thought they were a serious danger to their health.
Many teenagers ignored drugs warnings at schools. In fact, it was proved that in some cases, the reason for taking drugs was to rebel against warnings from adults.
New anti-drugs campaign has been started. This new campaign. It informs young people of the health risks associated with particular drugs.
Many teenagers try drugs as a «dare». The health authority has put the number of their drugs helpline in a lot of places. The people at the helpline advise people what to do if they have a drug problem or need more information about the dangers of drugs.

Антинаркотическая
кампания

Во всем мире растет проблема употребления наркотиков. Самый высокий рост употребления препаратов наблюдается среди подростков. Как убедить их остановиться?
В прошлом году число подростков, которые попробовали наркотики, составило 6 % в Греции, 15 % во Франции и 30 % в Великобритании.
Статистические данные показывают, что употребление наркотиков подростками удвоилось с 1999 года. Половина подростков, у которых брали интервью, признались, что они попробовали по крайне мере один вид препарата. 70 % сказали, что им предложили наркотики в течение последних 3 месяцев.
31 % опрашиваемых подростков не знали, что употребление «Экстази» причиняет вред здоровью.
49 % молодых наркоманов говорят, что они бы прекратили употреблять наркотики, если бы не стали зависимыми от них.
35 % молодых наркоманов говорят, что они не знают, почему они их употребляют.
БОЛЬШИНСТВО молодых наркоманов говорят, что они слышат о наркотиках больше от своих друзей, чем от средств массовой информации.
КОЛИЧЕСТВО мальчиков, употребляющих наркотики, больше, чем количество девочек.
Наркотиками, по поводу которых больше всего беспокоится правительство, являются стимулирующие препараты, такие как Экстази (или «Э», как их обычно называют), и галлюциногенные наркотики, такие как ЛСД. Многие молодые люди считают эти наркотики модными.
Правительство решило, что необходима новая антинаркотическая кампания. Опрос показал, что подростки знали о том, что наркотики вредны, но они не могли сказать какой риск здоровью, наносят определенные наркотики. 61 % подростков-наркоманов прекратили бы употреблять наркотики, если бы знали, что они представляют серьезную опасность для их здоровья.
Многие подростки проигнорировали предупреждения о наркотиках в школах. Фактически было доказано, что в некоторых случаях причиной для начала употребления наркотиков являлся бунт против предостережений взрослых.
Была начата новая антинаркотическая кампания. Эта новая кампания предупреждает молодых людей о риске для здоровья, связанном с определенными наркотиками.
Многие подростки пробуют наркотики «для храбрости». Министерство здравоохранения во многих местах разместило номер телефона доверия. По телефону доверия людям советуют, что сделать, если возникла проблема наркотической зависимости или есть необходимость в большем количестве информации о вреде наркотиков.
