Second, strengthen family education. Family is the first school where children grow up. Parents should strengthen education, tell their children the dangers of drugs, and cultivate their children's correct values and lifestyles.

Third, strengthen school education. School is an important place for teenagers to grow up. Schools should strengthen drug education for students, carry out relevant courses and activities, and guide students to establish correct values and outlook on life.

Finally, strengthen social supervision. The government and social organizations should intensify their efforts to crack down on drugs, establish and improve laws, regulations and supervision mechanisms, severely crack down on drug crimes and safeguard social security and stability.

Through the above preventive measures, we can effectively prevent drug abuse and protect people's physical and mental health. Let's work together to create a non-toxic social environment.
