Table 2 : Comparison Between the Age of Onset for Smoking
and the User Level
Research Question 3 : Is there a difference on the age of onset for sniffing
glue among chronic drug abusers and non-chronic drug abusers?
Table 3 shows the comparison between the onset age for sniffing
glue between non-chronic users and chronic users. The findings of the
comparison on the age of onset for sniffing glue shows that not all of them
had experienced it, the majority had never sniffed glue before. For the
chronic users who sniffed glue, the majority had experienced it between
13 to 14 years old whereas for the non-chronic user they experienced it at
an older age that is between 15 to 16 years old. This shows that the earlier
a drug addict starts sniffing glue, the more chronic the user level of severity
for drug abuse is.
