Smoking cigarettes or drinking alcohol leads to:
Correct answer: B. Illegal drugs
- A. Legal drugs
- B. Illegal drugs
- C. Soft drugs
- D. The use of tobacco in educational institutions
Explanation
Option B is correct. The passage indicates that individuals who smoke cigarettes and drink alcohol often find themselves using illegal drugs. This connection highlights the concern around the escalation of substance use. Option A (legal drugs) is incorrect because the question implies a transition to more harmful substances, not those that are legally sanctioned. Option C (soft drugs) also fails to capture the severity of the situation described in the passage, as soft drugs are typically less dangerous than illegal drugs. Option D (The use of tobacco in educational institutions) is not relevant to the question's main focus on the relationship between smoking, drinking, and illegal drug use.
