1-3-25 new survey shows most teens abstaining from drinking and smoking

A new survey shows most US teens are abstaining from drinking, smoking and marijuana.  Results from a large annual national survey found that teen drug use hasn’t rebounded from its drop during the early years of the COVID-19 pandemic.  Fond du Lac County Public Health Officer Kim Mueller says about 67 percent of 12th graders this year said they hadn’t used alcohol, marijuana, cigarettes or e-cigarettes in the previous 30 days.  Among 10th graders it was 80-percent, also a record.
