HealthDay (7/6, Quinlan Houghtaling) reports, “Children as young as 9 and 10 start to wonder about tobacco, booze and even marijuana, and many may have easy access to these substances at home, mostly because their parents have not forbidden their use yet,” researchers concluded in a study revealing that “about one in 10 of the nearly 12,000 preteen children…said they’re curious about using alcohol or tobacco products, while one in 50 expressed curiosity about using marijuana.” The findings were published in the June issue of the journal Drug & Alcohol Dependence Reports.
