Best Answer

Cold turkey means to stop smoking with no gradual reduction i.e. you give your system a short sharp shock as smoking stops and nicotine is withdrawn from your system. Quitting smoking cold turkey does not have a high success rate, due to the extreme symptoms that nicotine withdrawal causes, and most of them start smoking again. It works for people who are strong willed and also beneficial as the withdrawal symptoms are only there for about a week and the nicotine is out of the system in a month. The success rate of this method is about 1/3 rd.

Why do many people have inaccurate perceptions about the number of teens that abuse drugs?

Because the government is trying to scare everyone into thinking that everyone does drugs and they don't have to do drugs to fit in.. truth is barely any of the teens (by percentage) do drugs and fitting in by doing drugs usually isn't an issue. Its all a scare tactic to keep drugs illegal, and the feds making money off busting drugs.
