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!

Prevention is Effective!
For each $1.00 invested in evidence based
prevention programs, SC saves $18.00 in
costs to society, including the costs of
incarceration,
drug-related
crime,
hospitalizations, and other societal ills .
