National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) has identified setting a quit date, creating a support system and seeking professional help as tips to ending drug abuse.

A principal officer, Prince Chuks Njemanze dropped the hint while delivering a lecture on drug abuse and its consequences on the youth at the NYSC Permanent Orientation Camp, Umuawulu/Mbaukwu, Awka South Local Government Area.

He defined drugs as substances that alter the normal functioning of the body and mind when taken into the body while drug abuse is the use of drugs inappropriately or without doctor’s prescription.

He classified drugs into three categories: stimulants, depressants and hallucinogens. Stimulants increase brain speed, while depressants slow down brain functions.
