Fix this textdespite a dramatic decline in
Fix this texttobacco use by men, young
Fix this textwomen are more likely to
Fix this textsmoke than at any time in the

Fix this textAdvertising and changing

Fix this textusage, but there are many others
Fix this textand they can be found in a new

Fix this textsity, the book is the most system-
Fix this textatic and comprehensive study of
Fix this textdrugs in Australia yet written.
Fix this textThe findings are based on two
Fix this textnational opinion surveys conducted
Fix this textfor the Department of Health which
Fix this textlooked at the patterns of drug use in
Fix this textAustralian society, people’s atti-
Fix this texttudes, and the patterns of use across
Fix this textthe population as a whole, as well
Fix this textas for particular subgroups, such as
Fix this textadolescents and women.
Fix this textThe authors examine attitudes
Fix this textand opinions within the population
Fix this texttowards drugs, and relate those
Fix this textattitudes to patterns of use. They
Fix this textanalyse the implications that these
Fix this textresults have for current policies on
Fix this textthe availability and use of drugs,
Fix this textlicit as well as illicit.
Fix this textThey argue that public policies
Fix this texttowards drugs in Australia are pri-
Fix this textmarily dictated by changes in pub-
Fix this textlic opinion. For example, changes
Fix this textin opinion were instrumental in lib-
Fix this texteralising hotel and bar opening
Fix this texthours in the 1950 s and 19605, and
Fix this textin shaping more recent policies
Fix this textdesigned to curtail the use of
Fix this texttobacco.
Fix this textSince public policies on drugs
Fix this textare influenced by. moral arguments,
Fix this textreligion, and such fundamental
Fix this textissues as individual and collective
Fix this textrights, political parlies have rarely
Fix this textcompeted for votes on platforms
Fix this textwhich contain policies towards
Fix this textdrug use.
