The whole concept of something possibly leading to drug use is total BS. You could probably say the same thing for a great many things, if of course, your objective is to discourage such behavior.
New headline, "Riding skateboards leads to an increased risk of kids smoking " followed shortly thereafter by "Experts find that listening to < insert musical genre here > is often a prelude to drug use among teenagers".
Kids are gonna be kids like it or not. They are going to do stupid things, some more frequently than others. The idea that government needs to be leading the charge in how their behavior is influenced is just asinine.
