• Hookah
• Tobacco
• Energy drinks

4. WHAT IS SMOKING!
Smoking is a practice in which a
substance, most commonly tobacco, is burned
and the smoke is tasted or inhaled. This is
primarily practiced as a route of
administration for recreational drug
use, as combustion releases the active
substances in drugs such as nicotine and
makes them available for absorption through
the lungs.
14. WHAT ARE DRUGS!
A drug is a substance which may
have medicinal, intoxicating, performance
enhancing or other effects when taken or
put into a human body or the body of
another animal and is not considered a food
or exclusively a food.
15. TYPES OF DRUG EFFECT!
• Stimulants (psychical addiction, moderate to
severe; withdrawal is purely psychological and
psychosomatic):
• Sedatives and hypnotics (psychical addiction, mild
to severe, and physiological addiction, severe;
abrupt withdrawal may be fatal):
• Opiate and opioid analgesics (psychical
addiction, mild to severe, physiological
addiction, mild to severe; abrupt withdrawal is
unlikely to be fatal):
16. TYPES OF DRUGS!
Amphetamine and methamphetamine
Cocaine
Caffeine
Nicotine
Alcohol
Barbiturates
Benzodiazepines
Methaqualone and quinazolinone
Morphine and codeine
heroin
Oxycodone
buprenorphine
hydromorphone
fentanyl
meperidine and methadone.
25. WHAT IS ALCOHOL?
An alcohol is a drink containing ethyl alcohol
which is commonly referred to as ethanol.
Alcoholic beverages are divided into three
general classes for taxation and regulation of
production: beers, wines, and spirits (or distilled
beverage).
34. WHAT IS HOOKAH/SHISHA?
A hookah (hukkā or huqqah)also known as
a water pipe, narghile, shisha, or qalyān is a
single or multi-stemmed instrument
for vaporizing and smoking flavored tobacco
called shisha in which the vapor or smoke is
passed through a water basin (often glass
based) before inhalation. Depending on the
placement of the coal above the shisha a
hookah can be used to produce smoke by
burning the shisha or used to create water
vapor by melting it at a lower temperature.
35. HEALTH EFFECTS!
A well qualified doctor states that smoking using a
water pipe poses a serious potential health hazard and
is not a safe alternative to cigarette smoking. The
average hookah session typically lasts more than 40
minutes, and consists of 50 to 200 inhalations that each
range from 0.15 to 0.50 liters of smoke. In an hour-long
smoking session of hookah, users consume about 100
to 200 times the volume of smoke of a cigarette. The
chemical compositions of cigarette smoke and hookah
smoke are different, however, as the workings of the
charcoal in the modern hookah causes the tobacco
mixture to be heated to a lower temperature, as
opposed to the higher temperature in a cigarette
where the tobacco is directly burnt.
45. WHAT IS TOBACCO?
Tobacco is a product processed from the
dried leaves of plants in the genus Nicotiana.
It can be used as a pesticide, and extracts
form ingredients of some medicines, but is
most commonly consumed as a drug.
Tobacco is a name for any plant of the genus
Nicotiana of the Solanaceae family
(nightshade family) and for the product
manufactured from the leaf used in cigars
and cigarettes, snuff, pipe tobacco, chewing
tobacco, and flavored shisha.
53. WHAT ARE ENERGY DRINKS?
An energy drink is a type
of beverage containing stimulant
drugs, chiefly caffeine, which is marketed as
providing mental or physical stimulation. There
is a myriad of brands and varieties of energy
drinks. They generally contain large amounts
of caffeine and other stimulants. Many also
contain sugar or other sweeteners, herbal
extracts and amino acids and may or may not
be carbonated. They are a subset of the larger
group of energy products, which includes bars
and gels.
