The best time to talk to your children about drugs is in grade school. It is never to young to talk to your children about drugs. Starting with smoking is always good. Children are learning quickly now and they look up to parent's the most. Also it is always good to talk about the results of doing drug and as they grow older you can add in pictures of the problems. Like for example smoking is the leading cause of lung cancer. By showing a child a picture of the lung the less chance they would smoke.
