The document discusses the harms of smoking, drinking alcohol, and taking illegal drugs. Smoking cigarettes exposes the body to nicotine, tar, and carbon monoxide, which are addictive and cause issues like cancer, heart disease, and lung damage. Drinking alcohol in excess amounts, known as binge drinking, can negatively impact health, behavior, and relationships. While some legal drugs have benefits if taken properly, illegal drugs and misuse of alcohol and cigarettes ultimately harm the body. The document emphasizes educating people about these risks and implementing policies like higher prices and restrictions to reduce substance abuse.

Why is Smoking Bad ?
• A cigarette contains nicotine, tar and carbon
monoxide.
• Nicotine is an addictive drug that raises the heart
beat, narrows the arteries and so causes high
blood pressure. This leads to heart disease.
• Tar coats the lining of the lungs making them less
able to take in oxygen. It also contains
carcinogens which cause cancer.
• Carbon monoxide is a poisonous gas which joins
up with red blood cells making them incapable of
transporting oxygen around the body
