Drugs – Alcohol, Tobacco, Solvents and Smoking?
The Drugs are (As said in the title); Alcohol, Tobacco, Solvents and Smoking.
I’ve been researching lately, done most questions but still need help on these:
1) The effects that the drugs would have on a person’s lifestyle
2) Scientific facts about the drugs
3) The effects that the drugs would have on the main body systems, organs and specialized cells
4) Short-term and long-term health problems with smoking, drinking too much alcohol/caffeinated drinks and solvent abuse
5) Positive and negative effects of addiction on the body
Any help will do thanks but would REALLY Appreciate if anybody helps me on all questions ;D x

1. The effects could be: changes lifestyle as your body is now weak and you’re not so healthy which will deprive you from doing certain things in your free time. Drugs will limit your life so there will be certin things you cannot do that a normal person would such as: eating/drinking certain things, doing certain activities, travelling etc
2. Hmm I’ll get back to you on that
3. Weakens your body and destroys white and red blood cells so if you have a disease, it will be harder for your body to fight the disease so you’ll be infected
4. Smell bad, stained teeth, bad breath, yellow fingers and fingernails, heart problems, kidney problems, effects the brain, stunts growth (i think!), liver failures, kidney problems, bowel problems, you cant think straight, cant see straight, mental problems, too much caffeine is bad!!
5. Not sure
Sorry I tried my best
Hope I helped somehow =D

Alcohol can have a positive effect on someones life (in their eyes), if they do it in a social setting every now and again. Alcohol can be good for you in moderation, so in small doses it can have good points. If people binge drink, like many teenagers these days, it will effect their liver. If they are of a young age this can have an even worse effect as they are still developing. It can lead to alcohol poisoning, liver damage, and can lead people to do things they don’t want to such as unprotected *** and so on.
Tobacco is addictive, so the people come DEPENDANT on it. They are not an ADDICT, as this would affect the way they live. For example a heroin ADDICT would go around beating people up for money for their fix, whereas a doctor is DEPENDANT on heroin as he can get easy access to it and get on with their lives. One *** can potentially trigger cancer, and smoking will increase the chances of getting many cancers, not just of the lung. It can lead to respiratory problems, which can have an effect if the smoker is a sports player and so on.
Solvents are not addictive I don’t think, and will not have a massive effect on a persons lifestyle IF it doesn’t kill them. It can potentially kill you after one go, if not put you in a wheelchair through paralysis and so on. A boy in year 6 at my old school died a few years back because he took solvents and thought he could fly. It messes with your head.
Smoking i’ve kinda writingwith tobacco, but chewing tobacco is really bad for your teeth. Also smoking holds around 400 (?) chemicals.
As for the facts, look at FRANK or sites that try to get you to quite smoking etc, they will have plenty of facts. They’ll have the information for Q2,3 and 4 so just have a quick google.
For Q5, there is always a negative effect on the body, although it may seem positive to the abuser. A smoker will know that being addicted to the nicotine is bad for them, they will feel good after having a ***. Its like a cycle.
Sorry, the *** is meant to say f a g or ciggorette (sp)
