Any four measures that should be done to reform the drug addicted youth are as follows:
  1. Society, family and friends should show sympathy, positive attitude and love to improve them.

  3. Government or NGOs should aware the youths through various campaigns against drug abuse and addiction.
  4. Parents/guardians should try to understand the problems of their children and should provide proper environment, care and counseling at home.

I am not much satisfied with the role played by state in controlling drug abuse because of the following reasons:

  1. Though there is law against drug abuse, it has not been strictly implemented by the state.
  2. In some cases, the drug abusers have been arrested but are freed within dew days because of their nexus with the political leaders and other people in power.
  3. The penalty to the abusers is very less comparing it to the income they earn through drug abuse.
  4. Government has always been failing in security management against drug trafficking especially in the border area.

It is being difficult to control the drug trafficking because of the weak administrative mechanism.

As a student of a school, I also feel that students in schools and colleges are habitual in smoking. A survey made by a non-governmental organization has shown that one of three smokes in school and colleges. There are several reasons responsible for:

  3. Influence of media and an attitude of show off encourage youths to smoke.
  4. Excessive freedom and enough supply of money for the children take them to such a bad habit.
If a close friend asked me to try a drug, I would reject the proposal. I would tell him not to take drugs time and again. I would demonstrate the bad effects of drugs in one's life. I wouldn't be late to do every type of task to avoid the person's drug taking habit.
