Drug Hotline Opens in China
People in central China's Henan Province can now dial a hotline for information on dangers of drugs and national and local laws against drug abuse.
The 24/7 service, available at #16800626, provides professional advice on drug abstinence, and brief explanations of local drug addiction treatment centers.
The effort is to publicize the basics on drug awareness and to encourage citizens to help police uncover drug trafficking and related crimes.
In another development, over 10,000 teenagers in northeastern China's Jilin Province today signed their names on two white banners, vowing to stay drug-free and to fight drug-related crimes.
The United Nations set June 26 as the International Day Against Drug Abuse in 1987, with the support of 138 countries.
