Preventing alcohol abuse and tobacco abuse
Alcohol and tobacco abuse together account for the most important causes of preventable deaths and disability in the world. It is important to distinguish between alcohol on the one hand, and hard drugs and tobacco on the other. If consumed within limits and with common sense, alcohol does no damage to health; on the other hand, tobacco and hard drugs are dangerous irrespective of the amounts in which they are used. Thus, the prevention of alcohol abuse may focus on strategies to educate people about ‘sensible’ drinking (in a similar way as to sensible sexual behaviour). On the other hand, strategies for combating tobacco or hard drug abuse should focus on complete abstinence. “Just say no” is the slogan of choice for these substances.
