毒品预防教育读本 (Manual of Drug Prevention Education)

当今，毒品已经成为影响人们生活和社会稳定的一颗毒瘤，它不但阻碍着国家经济发展和社会进步，而且严重威胁着民族的可持续发展和人民的健康以及社会的和谐与稳定。特别是近十多年来，随着新型毒品的出现、扩散和严重泛滥，吸毒人群不断增多。今后很长一个时期，国际毒潮泛滥的严重局面不会迅速扭转，国内毒品发展、蔓延的态势也不会得到根本性的改变，各种有关吸毒、贩毒等违法犯罪现象会持续增长，我国的禁毒任务将更加艰巨和繁重，远离毒品、共建和谐任重而道远。

正是基于当前毒品问题的严峻形势，在云南大学出版社和国际人口服务组织（美国云南办事处）的支持及鼓励下，由云南警官学院组织相关人员编写了《生命与安全：毒品预防教育读本》供广大读者学习使用。
