From the Galesburg Register Mail in Illinois:
The Illicit Drug Task Force of the Knox County Substance Abuse Prevention Coalition is working to reduce inhalant abuse in their community.
On Saturday, to kick of National Inhalants & Poisons Awareness Week, the group will be at Wal-Mart from 9 am – 12 pm “passing out information and displaying some commonly abused products. They also will encourage parents and grandparents to talk to children about inhalants.”
The 2008 Illinois Youth Survey revealed that the “almost one in ten” 6th, 8th and 10th graders in Knox County has abused inhalants. Additionally “about 95% of parents believe their child has never abused inhalants.”
