This 2016 National Drug Strategy Household Survey report shows that: the decline in daily smoking slowed in 2016 but improvements were seen among people living in the lowest socioeconomic area; certain groups disproportionately experience drug-related risks and recent use of illicit drugs was particularly high for people who identified as homosexual or bisexual; just under 4 in 10 Australians either smoked daily, drank alcohol in ways that put them at risk of harm or used an illicit drug in the previous 12 months.

Findings from this report:

  • Homosexual/bisexual people were 5.8 times as likely as heterosexual people to use ecstasy and meth/amphetamines

  • 4 in 10 people either smoked daily, drank alcohol in risky quantities or used an illicit drug in the past 12 months
