Statistics showed that by the end of 2014, Vietnam had 204,377 drug addicts, mostly young people, of which, as many as 76% of the addicts are under 35 years old.

The Deputy PM urged the youth to take practical actions against drugs by keeping themselves and their friends and family away from drugs.
He also called on the businesses to give former drug addicts a second chance at employment to help them integrate into the society.
