Hagit Bonny-Noach notes the challenging history of illicit substance use among Israeli backpackers. Few Israeli practices are more normative than the backpacking-trip as a rite of passage. Unsurprisingly, backpacking in far-off locales provides occasion to experiment with the various intoxicating experiences young adult life has to offer.Some such experimentation is expected, and often developmentally appropriate. It also carries real risks and causes real harms. Israeli policymakers' efforts to address this issue underscore both the necessity and the difficulty of harm reduction. Bonny-Noach usefully notes the importance of social class as both a facilitator and a barrier to effective public health policies to protect young adults from drug-related harms.
哈吉特·邦尼 - 诺亚克指出，以色列背包客中存在着一段充满挑战的非法药物使用历史。在以色列，很少有行为比背包旅行作为一种成人仪式更为常见。不出所料，在遥远地区的背包旅行让年轻人有机会体验成年生活所能提供的各种令人陶醉的经历。一些这样的尝试是可以预料的，而且在发展过程中往往是适当的。但它也带来了真正的风险和危害。以色列政策制定者为解决这一问题所做的努力凸显了减少危害的必要性和困难。邦尼 - 诺亚克有效地指出了社会阶层的重要性，它既是有效公共卫生政策的促进因素，也是阻碍这些政策保护年轻人免受毒品相关危害的因素。
