New text service tells teens of drugs dangers

A new mobile phone text alert service was launched today in Ireland to provide teenagers with urgent advice on the dangers of illicit drugs, reports the Irish Examiner.

"... Recognising the reality that every night in clubs, bars and streets around the country, young people are being offered drugs for the first time.

Now, by texting the name of the drug to 50100, young people can find out the effects they can have on their life or health within seconds."
