Aussies tough on alcohol, smoking, drugs
The majority of Australians support policies aimed at reducing alcohol, tobacco and illicit drug use, and are also making efforts to kick their own drug habits, according to a report released by the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare.
The 2007 National Drug Strategy Household Survey: Detailed Findings report shows that most Australians support reduction policies for alcohol, tobacco and illicit drugs, and that there is very little support for the legalisation of illicit drugs such as marijuana, cocaine and ecstasy.
Alcohol was the drug considered to be of most serious concern to the community, while heroin remained the drug most associated with a ‘drug problem’ in Australia.
