Massive amounts of peer pressure (something that genetics tells us we should comply with because popularity=power when you're living off a group caught hunt if you're unpopular you don't get much. Or laid.), realisation or fear of economic struggles (blowing your money on blow hinders outside lifestyle, eg unable to buy food/provide a roof over your head), realisation or fear of health related problems (really a no brainer), realisation or fear of an inability to function within modern society to an adequate level (ties in with the others, if you don't provide for yourself other people are unlikely to do so ...).
Note: I'm with Kerkovian and Swim in that I don't believe in the possibility of free will (neither genetic nor deistically bestowed), but I was too lazy to say so earlier.
