Alcohol And Tobacco Facts
Alcohol and tobacco use cause significant harm. 65 people die daily in alcohol-related car crashes, and long-term heavy drinking is a leading cause of liver disease deaths. 95% of alcoholics die from their disease on average 26 years earlier than expected. Secondhand smoke causes 38,000 annual deaths, while 19.8% of adults and some students use cigarettes or smokeless tobacco despite health risks.

The document introduces the concept that air is a substance that surrounds us, takes up space, and whose movement we feel as wind. It provides activities for students to explore these properties of air through using paper to feel air movement, blowing up balloons to see how air takes up space, and copying statements about the properties of air onto individual pieces of paper. The overall purpose is for students to begin investigating and explaining the fundamental properties that define air.
Health wellness final present.
The document outlines an individual's wellness goal to incorporate more fruits and vegetables into their weekly diet, along with doubling their daily water intake. Specifically, the goal is to eat one fruit and one vegetable and drink four bottles of water per day. The individual believes this goal is achievable and realistic, and plans to track their progress in a log over four weeks to make the new diet a lifetime routine.

The document provides summaries of several children's books and suggested activities to accompany each book. It discusses books such as The Mixed Up Chameleon by Eric Carle, The Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle, Chicka Chicka Boom Boom, and Over in the Jungle: A Rainforest Rhyme. For each book, it outlines brief reading comprehension and other educational activities related to science, math, language arts, and Howard Gardner's multiple intelligences.
C:\Fakepath\Images Of Science
This document discusses how images and perceptions of scientists can be misleading. It provides activities for students to explore the diversity of scientists by creating a collage of pictures related to science from magazines, drawing a scientist, reading about real scientists from around the world, and finding science stories in the newspaper. The goal is to show that science involves many types of people in different settings and occupations, not just the stereotypical image of a lone male scientist in a lab coat.
C:\Fakepath\The Motion Of The Sun & Moon
The document discusses the apparent motion of the sun and moon as seen from Earth over the course of a day. It explains that the sun does not actually move but rather it is the Earth's rotation that makes it appear to rise and set. The moon also appears to change shape cyclically each night due to its rotation and revolution around Earth, exposing different portions to sunlight throughout its orbit.

1) The document discusses an experiment to test if gravity affects small and large marbles differently when rolled down an inclined surface. Students use a ramp made of books or a binder and observe whether the marbles hit the ground at the same time or if one is faster.
2) The document also discusses other examples of forces, such as magnetism and gravity. Gravity makes all objects attract each other, with stronger attraction between larger objects.
3) Students are asked to predict whether heavy objects will fall faster than light ones based on the idea that heavier objects feel they are pulling harder against hands, and to consider how to test their prediction.

Concerns about alcohol and tobacco
By high school, 80% of students have used alcohol and 62% have been drunk, showing that kids are experimenting with alcohol at younger ages. Each year in the U.S., around 50,000 people experience alcohol poisoning from excessive drinking and one person dies each week from this preventable condition. Tobacco use also has severe health consequences, with over 1 million people having emphysema and 46,000 having lung cancer from smoking, while 3,400 non-smokers die annually from secondhand smoke exposure. Tobacco kills more Americans than from many other causes combined such as AIDS, alcohol, accidents and violence.
Alc and cig
Tobacco use causes over 440,000 deaths per year in the United States, with 69 of the 4,800 chemicals in cigarette smoke causing cancer. Approximately 20% of American teens smoke cigarettes, often initiating use before high school graduation. Teen smoking is strongly influenced by peers, with the likelihood of smoking increasing if a teen's best friend or parents smoke. Secondhand smoke exposure leads to 3,000 non-smoker deaths annually in the US. Regarding alcohol, 40% of early drinkers become alcoholics later in life, with 80% of high school seniors using alcohol and 62% drinking to the point of intoxication. Around 14 million Americans struggle with alcohol addiction, and binge drinking is defined as consuming

tobacco
Tobacco is a plant containing nicotine, a highly addictive chemical. It is most commonly used in cigarettes, cigars, and pipes. Tobacco use kills over 6 million people worldwide each year and leads to cancer, lung disease, and other health issues. While tobacco companies advertise it as cool or attractive, the document warns that it is extremely addictive and dangerous, especially for young people whose lungs are still developing. The summary concludes that tobacco kills many Americans and that its use and advertising should be better regulated due to the significant health and safety risks.
Smoking is a Risk you Cannot Afford to Take
Smoking causes over 393,000 deaths per year in the U.S. and is the number one cause of preventable death. It contains over 4,800 chemicals, including 69 that cause cancer. Smoking harms almost every organ in the body and is a leading cause of lung cancer. Quitting smoking can be difficult but is important for health and can save money, while also preventing second-hand smoke exposure for others.
Bekir Keskinkılıç- NCDs – A Global Challenge
This document discusses non-communicable diseases (NCDs) as a global challenge. Some key points:
- NCDs such as heart disease, cancer, diabetes and respiratory diseases cause over 36 million deaths annually, more than 63% of all deaths globally.
- Risk factors for NCDs like tobacco use, unhealthy diet, physical inactivity and alcohol are largely preventable through effective interventions.
- Physical inactivity alone causes over 6% of deaths worldwide and contributes to many forms of cancer and heart disease. Obesity rates have also nearly doubled globally since 1980.
Tobacco and alcohol addiction
Tobacco use is one of the leading causes of preventable death and illness, with an estimated 443,000 people dying prematurely from smoking or secondhand smoke each year. Not only do smokers harm themselves, but they also harm others around them through secondhand smoke exposure. Children are especially susceptible to health issues from secondhand smoke. While many people find it difficult to quit due to nicotine addiction and social/habit factors, going cold turkey is the most effective method for those who successfully stop smoking.
Alcohol Research
This document summarizes various health risks of alcohol consumption including increased risks of certain cancers, casual sex, risk taking behaviors, assaults, injuries, drug use, deaths from accidents or violence, and behavioral issues. It also discusses using statistics on these health risks and public opinions in a documentary to raise awareness of the dangers of drinking alcohol.
Tobacco smoking and its bad effects
1. Tobacco use is the leading preventable cause of death worldwide, killing over 6 million people annually. This number is projected to rise to over 8 million deaths by 2030.
2. Cigarettes contain over 4,800 chemicals, including 69 that cause cancer. Smoking causes diseases like lung cancer, emphysema, and heart disease and reduces life expectancy by 10-14 years on average.
3. Secondhand smoke kills over 600,000 non-smokers annually through diseases like lung cancer and heart disease. Children exposed to secondhand smoke are also at risk for health issues.
Smoking Statistics
This one of my reasons to come out with my forth book to keep children to never try tobacco in a simple 20 minute read...
Smoking
Tobacco use is the leading cause of preventable death in the US and worldwide. In the US, tobacco use results in over 400,000 premature deaths annually. Worldwide, tobacco use causes over 3 million deaths per year. The tobacco industry targets youth to replace the 3000 smokers who die or quit each day. Nicotine is highly addictive due to its effects on the brain's reward pathways and dopamine release. While the health risks of smoking are well established, the tobacco industry suppressed this information and targeted youth in marketing for many years.
