    Lack of connectedness. Teens from families with frequent conflict, physical or sexual abuse, or psychological stress are more likely to try alcohol and drugs. Without feelings of closeness, a teen may look to alcohol or drugs to compensate for emotional pain.

    Lack of consistent parent involvement. Lack of consistent parent involvement in a child's life and lack of appropriate supervision increase a teen's risk for abusing alcohol, cigarettes, or other drugs. Harsh or inconsistent punishment or permissiveness also increase a teen's risk for alcohol and drug abuse.

    Community risk factors

    These include:

    Access to substances. Easy access to cigarettes, active drug trading, substance-abusing role models, or substance use that is accepted and tolerated in the community can contribute to a teen's likelihood of using substances

    Having cigarettes, alcohol, or other drugs in the home also increases the chances that a teen will use them.

    Peer influence. A teen's peers heavily influence the choice to use substances.

    This can result when a teen wants to fit in with a group and then chooses a group that uses substances.

    Promotion of alcohol, cigarettes, and drugs by the media. The entertainment and other media portray alcohol and cigarette use as "cool."

    Pharmaceutical company advertisements promote the use of prescription or nonprescription drugs with an implicit message that drugs improve your life.

    The initiative taken for the concern is very serious and needs an attention of everyone. This is the concern which exists in the society and needs to be eliminated from the society as soon as possible.
