Abstract
Substance abuse among young people has become a pressing social and public health concern in Nigeria and across the world. Youth, defined as individuals in their adolescent and early adult years, are at a critical stage of development where experimentation, peer influence, and exposure to risky behaviors are heightened. The misuse of substances such as alcohol, tobacco, cannabis, and prescription or illicit drugs poses significant dangers to their physical health, mental well-being, education, and future productivity.
