[Substance abuse and toxicity. Fetal drug syndrome].

24% of the 16 years old adolescents have already consumed so called substances suitable for abuse. We must make children, teachers, parents, lawyers, priests, physicians and family aware of the effects and outcomes of drug use. This is just one of the many similar unsolved problems of society like AIDS and smoking. It is imperative that education for healthy lifestyle should be thought at every level of social life. Fighting against the hard problems emerging from drug abuse must be continuously kept on the right place in teaching medicine and in our everyday activity.
