Explain why one of the most effective strategies for resisting drugs use is simply avoid situations where drugs and drug users will be present

Because if you don't avoid places where people are using drugs, there is a very good chance people will try pressure you. And most people can't handle the pressure, so they end up using or doing drugs too. BUT, if you stay away from places like these or situations that might lead to this example, then you should be good. And chances are you will be fine and you can stay away from drugs.

Pressure, especially peer pressure, can really do things to people to affect them and make them do things they might never want or have wanted to do. And that is the sad truth.
