Young people have been smoking and drinking for hundreds of years; after all, it's nothing exactly new despite what some older people may claim. But, with criminal gang numbers growing, innocent people are being lured in with false promises to fulfill their needs — i.e., wanting to live better lives or needing new connections. However, the good news is that, if young people have the right connections and some life experience, they can still have the fun they want without dealing hard drugs — such as heroin, meth, or cocaine — or being involved in organised crime.
