This paper argues that the sociology of deviance can be used to improve our understanding of some difficulties and unintended effects of health promotion interventions designed to change risk behaviours, especially drug taking. Firstly, many people engaged in risk behaviours tend to deny the risky label just as delinquents neutralise the deviant label and preventive information itself may be used by individuals in shaping risk denial. Secondly, deliberate risk taking may be an innovative deviance, which is related to difficulties for conforming to the dominant risk culture. Health promotions is likely to be quite ineffective if it remains needed to the dominant risk culture and de facto contributes to the spread of it.
