The current smoking rate of the study subjects in the study was 17.1%(male 27.5%, female 8.3%) and the current alcohol drinking rate was 29.4%(male 34.0%, female 25.4%). The experience rate of sedatives and stimulants was 4.0%(male 4.7%, female 4.4%) and 12.1%(male 7.0%, female 16.6%), respectively. The experience rate of glue, butane gas and other volatile solvents was 1.3%(male 2.5%, female 0.4%), 0.8%(male 2.0%, female 0.2%) and 1.0%(male 1.4%, female 0.6%), respectively.
