Smoking puts
dangerous chemicals into your body (Every single cigarette has
over 4,000 chemicals - including 200 known poisons) that can
affect your growing process in a bad way.
Cigarettes contain nicotine, a powerfully addictive substance
that provides an almost immediate “kick” because it causes a
discharge of epinephrine from the adrenal cortex. This
stimulates the central nervous system and other endocrine
glands, which causes a sudden release of glucose. Stimulation is
then followed by depression and fatigue, leading the abuser to
seek more nicotine.

There are very
many problems that can be caused by drinking that you may not
have considered. Heavy drinking is associated with a number of
chronic health conditions, including chronic liver disease and
cirrhosis, gastrointestinal cancers, heart disease, stroke as
well as problems with family, friends, and coworkers.
Some driving skills such as steering a car while responding to
changes in traffic can be impaired by blood alcohol
concentrations (BACs) as low as 0.02 percent.
The BAC refers to the amount of alcohol in the blood. For most
people, it only takes one drink to get this BAC. Staying away
from alcohol is the only way to be safe behind the wheel.
Driving is a huge privilege-respect it. View more at:

The term "club
drugs" refers to a wide variety of drugs often used at all-night
dance parties ("raves"), nightclubs, and concerts. Club drugs
can damage the neurons in your brain, impairing your senses,
memory, judgment, and coordination.
Most club drugs are odorless and tasteless. Some are made into a
powder form that makes it easier to slip into a drink and
dissolve without a person's knowledge.
