National drug survey report

In another AIHW report just released, 2007 National Drug Strategy Household Survey: detailed findings, information on drug use prevalence, drug-related behaviours and incidents, and support for drug-related policy and legislation in Australia is presented.

Some of the findings include the fact that one in six Australians over the age of 14 smoke tobacco daily, a drop since 1993 when it was one in four. The use of ilicit drugs in Australia has continued to decline, and the consumption of alcohol has remained almost the same.
