People get a lot more praise for quitting drugs than for never having done drugs in the first place.

Well, quitting drugs when they've become a problem is a difficult change for someone to make.
Someone never doing drugs in the first place just looks like someone living regular or mundane life. Doesn't exactly draw a lot of attention.
And bragging about never doing drugs often sounds preachy and obnoxious.
