Buying and drinking alcohol under 18 is illegal. Drugs like cannabis, cocaine, ecstasy, heroin, speed are all illegal. Cigarettes are legal, but as from the 1st October 2007 you are no longer allowed to buy them if you are under 18.  However, if you have started smoking the best thing to do is give up now and if you are thinking of starting: DON’T BOTHER. Smoking is very expensive and very bad for your health.

If you or someone you know has a problem with drink or drugs you can talk to your Connexions Personal Adviser, in confidence.
