Report finds fewer young people smoking and drinking

There are signs more young people are behaving themselves — levels of smoking and drunkenness have fallen, a major report being published today reveals.

Also, the percentage of 15- to-17-year olds reporting they have never had sex has increased from 23% in 2010 to 27% in 2014.

However, the Health Behaviour in School Children 2015 report to be launched by Health Minister Leo Varadkar has found that one in five children do not wear car seat belts.
