Drug use and depression common among adolescent
smokers

• Smoking has been a major global concern, causing
  innumerable health issues, including cancer.
  According to the Centers for Disease Control and
  Preventions (CDC) 2016 report, in 2015, about
  three of every 100 middle school students (nearly
  3.3 percent) and 13 of every 100 high school
  students (or 13 percent) reportedly used two or
  more tobacco products during one month prior to
  the survey.
• Lately, many people, especially adolescents, have
  switched to e-cigarettes, hookah or cigars,
  thinking that they contain less harmful chemicals
  and toxins. However, in reality, even these
  products are also not safe and often cause deadly
  diseases of the lungs and the heart.
• Adolescents getting hooked on cigarettes in such
  a large proportion shows an increased inclination
  to abuse drugs like cocaine and marijuana. A
  December 2016 study, published in the journal
  Addictive Behaviors, revealed that most of the
  teen smokers tend to use harder drugs, like
  cocaine, hallucinogens, ecstasy, along with
  prescription medications. Surprisingly,
  adolescents using harder drugs were more prone to
  suffer from mental health conditions, such as
  depression, highlighted the study.

Depression in Teens and Need For Drug Prevention

• Led by the researchers at the University of
  California, the study suggested that most of the
  adolescents smoking five or fewer cigarettes a
  day, or those who smoked occasionally, had a
  higher probability of indulging in multi-drug
  use. According to the study, the proportion of
  teens reporting harder drug use remained
  consistent over the duration of the study,
  implying that the pattern of cigarette smoking
  and drug use followed in adolescence can be
  chronic and persist over time. Often, smoking
  alone is not sufficient to provide the desired
  high and euphoric effect, which leads most
  teens to abuse harder drugs, including ecstasy
  and LSD.

Depression in Teens and Need For Drug Prevention

• However, the dangers of smoking are not limited
  to the higher risk for addiction. Depression was
  a common phenomenon witnessed in adolescents who
  reportedly used illegal drugs at the beginning of
  the study. Precisely, development of a mental
  health condition due to an ongoing addiction is a
  common problem but only a few people receive
  proper holistic treatment for both the
  conditions.

Depression in Teens and Need For Drug Prevention

• Evidently, depression is the most common mental
  disorder found in people with addiction. It is a
  severe mental disorder characterized by a
  persistent feeling of sadness, hopelessness and
  lack of energy. Depression triggered by addiction
  is the result of the changes in the brain
  chemistry caused by the abused substances.
  Illegal drugs tend to modify the region of the
  brain associated with reward, thereby making the
  brain dependent on the substance to feel relaxed.
  However, when not under the influence, such
  individuals tend to develop depression and other
  mental disorders.
• Thus, depression scores could be used to more
  accurately identify teenagers who are candidates
  for drug prevention and cessation programs, said
  the researchers.

Leading A Drug-Free Life is Possible

• According to the experts, depression and
  addiction together form a lethal combination.
  Studies have shown that a combination of
  addiction and depression increases the suicide
  rate to about one in four. Therefore, the need of
  the hour is to implement strict measures to keep
  a check on all kinds of addictions, so that the
  occurrence of mental disorders can be curbed to a
  certain extent.
