Years old

The majority of drug abusers in China are younger than 25 years old, an official with the China Food and Drug Administration said on Wednesday. Li Guoqing said at a news conference that among young people who abused drugs in 2012 some were minors in middle and primary schools. The information comes from a report monitoring drug abuse in China in 2012, which found that the majority of new drug abusers use synthetic drugs.
