Drug-Free and Proud<br />
Three ways to take a firm stand against drug abuse this World Drug Day.<br />
Here’s a shocking statistic: A total of 3,338 drug<br />
abusers were arrested by The Central Narcotics<br />
Bureau (CNB) in 2015 – a six per cent increase from<br />
2014. It’s a problem that not only affects the abusers'<br />
lives and their families, but also the society at large.<br />
This month, take a firm stand against drug abuse<br />
as World Drug Day falls on June 26. CNB and the<br />
National Council Against Drug Abuse are jointly<br />
organising an array of exciting events, collectively<br />
known as the Anti-Drug Abuse Campaign. Here are<br />
three exciting ways you and your family can get<br />
involved in.<br />

guaranteed to challenge your wits. Check it out on<br />

3. VISIT THE REVAMPED ADDICTION ALLEY<br />
A small trip to Health Promotion Board’s Health Zone<br />
might just reap big rewards as the Addiction Alley<br />
is newly revamped this year. Look out for interactive<br />
exhibitions like a shooting game which lets visitors<br />
shoot falling drugs before it lands on a human body<br />
as well as spinning cubes which display drug names<br />
along with its effects and penalties.<br />
