Smoking

The diseases caused by the habit of smoking kill more than 438.000 people in Argentina every year. In fact, the habit of smoking is directly responsible for the majority of the cases of cancer of lung (87 %), for emphysema and for chronic bronchitis. Even with the campaigns in opposition to the tobacco, people continue smoking or start smoking every year. According to the American Society of the Cancer 90 % of the new smokers are children or teenagers who substitute, in many cases, those who stop smoking or die prematurely of a disease associated with the habit of smoking.

Drugs

Addiction can affect anyone and there are many drugs, both legal (for example tranquillisers and sleeping tablets) and illegal (cocaine, cannabis).
Drugs have been in human history for ever, but as the time has been passing, the type of substances and the way of consuming have changed.
Drugs extend our vision, to a satisfactory world, but at the same time to an evil world.
Look for help is the first thing to do, to be better

drugs

A drug is any chemical or biological substance, synthetic or non-synthetic, that when it is taken into the organism's body, it will in some way alter the functions of that organism.
The excessive consumption of those substances can produce dependency, stimulation or depression of the central nervious system.
Drug addiction is a condition characterized by compulsive drug intake, craving and seeking, despite what the majority of society may perceive as the negative consequences associated with drug use.
Such persons are dependent on the drug, but are not addicted. One is addicted, rather than merely dependent, if one exhibits compulsive behavior towards the drug and has difficulty in quitting it.
There are drugs that are no legal like cocaine.

The more cigarettes you smoke, the more breathing problem you will have. Smoking is harmful for your health, and for other people´s. If you smoke a lot of cigarettes, they will probably make you ill.Smoking is unhealthy because it can produce lung cancer.
