Presentation on life safety "social consequences and prevention of bad habits." Bad habits and their social consequences What are the social consequences of bad habits?

31.07.202327.05.2017

Any representative of the human community has noted some kind of addiction or addiction. Sometimes these hobbies remain at the level of a harmless hobby. But habits are different, and sometimes they become unsafe and even threatening both for their owner and for those around him. A lot has been said about addictions that fall under the category of “harmful”; everyone is well aware of their negative impact on health.

But the number of adherents of an unhealthy lifestyle is not decreasing. Therefore, bad habits and their consequences have long become a large-scale problem that is still relevant today. Experts attribute the steady increase in people abusing negative addictions to insufficiently effective prevention among young people, the growth of social problems and the availability of toxic substances.

Bad habits have great negative consequences regarding a person’s socialization

Harmful addictions are some kind of strong bonds that hinder people in terms of their health, development, and family relationships. Many of these addictions are perceived quite adequately by society (for example, smoking), others provoke a lot of negative emotions and alienation (in particular, alcoholism and drug addiction).

All harmful addictions make a person a slave to addictions; they turn the individual into a kind of hostage, completely dependent on existing factors associated with the use of negative substances.

Bad habits are particularly addictive. If an addict is deprived of a habitual action, the use of something, then an obsession, an irresistible desire to again pick up what was taken away sometimes overshadows common sense and turns a person into an inadequate being. Experts identify three types of addictions that have become most popular among representatives of both sexes.

The most common bad habits

All these addictions have a negative impact on physical and mental health, and have an extremely destructive impact on the social condition and respect of society. These are the following things that spoil a person’s entire existence, affecting his immediate environment:

Gambling addiction.
Alcoholism.
Addiction.

Craving for gambling

Gambling addiction has become a real, dangerous scourge of modern society. A person who finds himself under the power of this addiction is completely lost to normal society.. Gambling addiction entails the following problems:

Mental disorders. When drawn into virtual life, a person experiences a complete loss of reality and a separation from the reality around him. This has an extremely negative impact on mental health. There is a lack of any useful activity; the player is only interested in staying in the next “adventure game”.
Destruction of health. Captivated by games, the addict forgets about sleep, food, and rest. There have been recorded cases where, completely lost in the game, a person even relieved himself. And over time, the personality, sinking lower and lower, becomes more like a drug addict. Such patients experience complete personality degradation, a decline in intelligence and memory.

Gambling addiction is based on a sharp narrowing of a person’s range of interests, a complete loss of control and certain mental reactions. An unhealthy craving for games has an extremely destructive effect on the professional fulfillment, social adaptation, financial situation and personal life of the patient.

Gambling addiction is included in the list of dangerous diseases

It is noted that such a habit as gambling often accompanies addiction to the use of certain psychoactive drugs. This pathology is diagnosed taking into account the existing manifestations typical of a gambling addict. Treat addiction with medications, psychotherapy and participation in group meetings of the same patients.

Alcohol addiction

And what do bad habits lead to, based on an insatiable craving for alcohol? Abuse of alcohol-containing products becomes not just another addiction and bad habit. This is a huge, completely destructive factor for physical health.

According to medical statistics, there are already more than 3 million people with alcoholism in Russia.

The mechanism of constant intoxication of the body during alcohol addiction is based on the harmful effects of ethyl alcohol on a person, the metabolites of which accumulate in large quantities in internal systems. With prolonged addiction to alcohol, the patient begins to develop cirrhosis of the liver - a pathology that leads to the death of a person. But the digestive organs are only a part, a small link in a series of destructive consequences.

The essence of alcoholism

Alcoholism causes extreme damage to the brain, one of the most important organs in the human body. Excessive addiction to alcohol leads to persistent mental disorders, complete or partial amnesia is observed. Due to the long-term toxic effects of ethanol, a person also receives alcoholic encephalopathy, which is characterized by alcoholic delirium, psychosis and a large list of neurological and somatic disorders.

Addiction

The only thing worse than alcohol addiction is addiction to narcotic drugs and compounds. These substances consist entirely of toxic substances that are poisonous to the body. Their influence on the human personality is enormous. Narcotic compounds deal a crushing blow to the nervous and brain systems, turning a person into a complete invalid.

Drug addiction is the most dangerous bad habit

With long-term use of narcotic compounds, individuals have to face consequences such as:

problems in the functioning of the central nervous system;
disruption of hormone production;
atrophy of parts of the brain;
significant destruction of internal organs;
heart, kidney and liver failure.

People heavily addicted to drugs are much more likely to become depressed and make suicidal attempts, most of which are successful. Cases of overdoses leading to death are becoming common. There is a huge risk of contracting deadly blood-borne infections.

Treatment of drug addiction is the most difficult; complete recovery for such people is not always achieved; recovery for drug addicts is very difficult, with a high risk of relapse.

To summarize, we can highlight the following, the most common physical consequences of abuse of bad habits:

gastrointestinal disorders;
severe pathologies of the central nervous system;
oncological processes;
severe mental problems;
diseases of the urinary organs;
loss of vision, hearing, touch and smell;
problems with brain function, destruction of its parts;
diseases of the heart, circulatory and vascular system;
a significant drop in immunity associated with general toxic poisoning of the body.

What are the social consequences of bad habits?

People who are addicted to their addictions completely destroy their physical and mental health. People around them, especially close family members, suffer greatly from their addiction. Considering the fact that people suffering from bad habits very rarely admit to having a problem and agree to treatment, they continue to ruin their lives, causing harm to others.

Common consequences of bad habits

Addiction to hobbies such as alcohol, drugs, and gambling also negatively affects the patient’s social life. These addictions, in addition to physical health, also ruin such aspects of life as:

family relationships;
financial condition;
psychological well-being;
work, promotion, respect from colleagues;
education and the desire to gain new knowledge.

Alcohol and drugs give rise to the development of criminal tendencies. These toxic substances completely disinhibit and extinguish consciousness and the ability to adequately monitor and influence one’s own actions. Being in a foggy state, a person allows himself to commit actions that he would never resort to in a sober state and which lead to sad consequences. For example:

fights;
theft;
murders;
robbery;
bad behavior;
major financial difficulties;
resistance to police officers;
losing friends due to constant drinking;
scandals and subsequent family breakdown;
Road accident while driving while impaired;
accidents (in everyday life and at work).

But arrests or charges of theft may be just the beginning of more global problems. After all, rarely do employers dare to hire a person with a criminal, dark past. This entails financial instability and even greater withdrawal from socialization..

The consequences of long-term alcohol abuse greatly affect a person’s social life. Gradually, drinkers become real outcasts from society. The vast majority of alcohol addicts completely lack self-control, moral and ethical standards of behavior, a sense of self-preservation and adequacy of thinking.

Main ways of prevention

But, even with competent treatment and an integrated approach, these addicts have a very high risk of developing relapses. In such a situation, loved ones and relatives of former addicts should do everything to protect patients from returning to their former life and new manifestations of seemingly defeated addictions. And new hobbies, sports, interesting hobbies, and communication can help with this. The main thing is to let the person know that he is important, loved and dear.

What conclusions do we have?

Those addicted to their dangerous, life-destroying habits completely destroy their physical and mental health, destroying their social position. The consequences of such habits are destructive for the people around them. The situation is aggravated by the difficulty of addicts themselves recognizing any problems.

About factors harmful to health- about drinking, smoking, alcoholism and drug addiction- they talk about bad habits. As a result of bad habits, life expectancy is reduced, mortality increases, and inferior offspring are born. Forced adaptation to environmental conditions, situations, and stress that is unnatural for the body has a short-term effect. Crime, aggressive behavior, harmful effects on offspring - these are the social consequences of alcoholism, drug addiction, and substance abuse.

Alcoholism- a serious illness caused by addiction to alcohol. Systematic drunkenness predisposes to many diseases, leads to the development of premature aging, and shortens life. In the social aspect, alcoholism is the cause of divorce in the family. More than half of difficult-to-educate children and adolescents are raised in single-parent families.

Alcohol reduces labor productivity especially sharply in those types of work that require more intense brain activity.

Socially less harmful than alcoholism, but a more common habit is smoking. The scale of losses caused to humanity by smoking includes numerous fires, explosions, burns and some transport accidents.

The problem of smoking is represented by various aspects: ethical, biological, psychological and hygienic, aesthetic, economic and social. A smoker poisons not only his body, but also the surrounding air, which he has no right to do.

It is indecent to smoke in the presence of elderly people, children, at meetings, sessions, meetings, while visiting, in the presence of unfamiliar people and women. A smoker unwittingly encourages teenagers and children to smoke. A young man or girl who smokes emits an unpleasant odor, which can cause a feeling of disgust. Even non-smoking people are forced to smoke, which, with the massive spread of smoking, becomes a socially dangerous phenomenon.

Drug addiction, like alcoholism, is not only a disease, but also a social phenomenon, the concern of getting rid of which should be taken upon the whole society as a whole.

The social danger of drug addiction is as follows: the physical and mental ability of the drug addict is reduced, all thoughts are connected with the drug - where and how to get it and use it. Drug addiction causes great material and moral damage, causing accidents, various offenses, and contributing to the growth of crime. Drug addicts create unbearable conditions for their families, degrading physically and morally, are a burden to society, drag other people into this vice, especially young people, and then die prematurely.

Drug addiction in all its forms (drug addiction, substance abuse, alcoholism, nicotineism), or drug addiction, is a socially dangerous mental illness that threatens the very future of the nation, the well-being and health of the population of the entire state. This determines the universal, global significance of the problem.

Abstract: Bad habits and their social consequences

Ministry of Education of the Russian Federation

Prepared: Dubrovskaya E.S.

Factors harmful to health—drinking and smoking, alcoholism and drug addiction—are sometimes spoken and written very softly and liberally as “bad habits.” Nicotine and alcohol are called “cultural poisons.” But it is they, these “cultural” poisons, that bring a lot of troubles and suffering - in families, in work collectives, and are a social evil for society. Moreover, as a result of bad habits, life expectancy is reduced, mortality increases, and inferior offspring are born.

Features of the effects of alcohol on the human body

Alcohol, or alcohol, is a narcotic poison; it acts primarily on brain cells, paralyzing them. A dose of 7–8 g of pure alcohol per 1 kg of body weight is lethal for humans. An adult weighing 75 kg can die from drinking 1 liter of forty-proof vodka.

Social and psychological reasons

What are the reasons for such widespread use of alcoholic beverages? One of them is the properties of alcohol itself, its ability to provide euphoric effect create a mood of pleasure. That is why alcoholic drinks were an indispensable attribute of various holidays, holidays and rituals even during the primitive communal system and at later stages of the development of human society.

Labor activity is one of the forms of human adaptation to environmental conditions.

Prerequisites for early alcoholism

Heredity. Human experience suggests that a genetic predisposition to alcoholism may exist. It is known that in cases of family alcoholism, when several blood relatives drink, children often drink. But a particularly high frequency of children’s drunkenness is observed if the background of family alcoholism is additionally aggravated by crime and antisocial behavior of elders. Because of this, we can conclude that drunkenness increases with heredity burdened not only by the body, but also by other personal deviations.

Smoking and nicotineism are the cause of many severe

Socially less harmful than drunkenness, but a more common habit is smoking. Unfortunately, many people smoke: men, women, elderly people, teenagers. However, not everyone realizes what a great evil smoking is, how nicotine, this “cultural” poison, has a detrimental effect on the body.

Prevalence of tobacco smoking and its causes

The habit of smoking today has captured a remarkable part of the world's population. According to rough estimates, about half of all men and a quarter of all women smoke.

Tobacco smoke is not only inhaled by the smoker, but also enters the surrounding air. Outside of the puff, it basically creates conditions for passive smoking. Half of the smoke gets into the air plus what the smoker exhales. It is quite clear that such air is polluted with nicotine, carbon monoxide, ammonia, tars, benzopyrene, radioactive substances and other harmful components.

Smoking and performance

There is an opinion that smoking enhances performance, and many hide behind this myth. In fact, nicotine has a stimulating effect for a very short time, then quickly reduces and impairs performance, both physical and mental.

About drug addiction and substance abuse

The use of various drugs – drug addiction – is a real scourge in many countries around the world. According to the World Health Organization, drugs have ranked first among the culprits in premature death and have already identified cardiovascular diseases and malignant tumors.

There is a surge in drug addiction among men and women all over the world. Behind them, boys, girls, teenagers and even children are drawn into this whirlpool.

What exactly is the social danger and harm of drug addiction? Firstly,

drug addicts are bad workers, their ability to work, physical and mental, is reduced, all their thoughts and dominant thoughts are related to drugs - where and how to get it and use it. Seventh,

drug addicts are at risk of spreading AIDS.

The human body and its psyche are a complex system that allows it not only to perfectly adapt to the changing conditions of its environment, but also to actively change it in accordance with its needs.

Essay

Bad habits

social

consequences

Prepared: Dubrovskaya E.S.

11th grade student "A"

gymnasium No. 18 in Krasnodar.

Krasnodar – 2001

Introduction

Among the factors that negatively affect health, smoking occupies a large place, the harmful effects of which do not affect immediately, but gradually, gradually.

Numerous surveys of the population have shown that many do not know or do not know enough about the dangers and all the consequences of smoking.

Drunkenness is, first of all, promiscuity, a personal vice of a person: lack of will, unwillingness to take into account the opinions of doctors, the public, and the data of science; This is selfishness, a soulless attitude towards the family, towards children. There are and cannot be any excuses for drunkards.

Sobriety should become the norm of life for every member of our society, and especially among students. However, there are people who in the concept of “drunkenness” include only the systematic consumption of alcoholic beverages in large quantities, contrasting this with the so-called “cultural consumption”. There is an opinion that alcohol in moderation is not harmful and helps to increase productivity.

Alcoholism

Features of the effects of alcohol on the human body

With chronic alcohol poisoning, degeneration of nerve cells occurs and at the same time the activity of internal organs - the liver, kidneys, stomach and intestines - is disrupted. Alcohol contributes to the development of tuberculosis. Systematic drunkenness predisposes to various diseases, leads to the development of premature aging, and shortens life.

Taking even small amounts of alcohol, reducing performance, leads to rapid fatigue, absent-mindedness, complicates perception, and noticeably weakens the will. True, a drunk person has a feeling of increased mood, and it seems to him that he has begun to work better, faster. However, this happens because alcohol weakens important mental processes in the human cerebral cortex.

Most drunkards grew up in families with unfavorable relationships between parents, in families where alcoholic beverages were consumed frequently.

Many transport accidents are related to alcohol consumption. Research by Czechoslovak scientists has shown that a glass of beer taken by a driver before leaving increases the number of accidents due to his fault by 7 times, when drinking 50 g of vodka - by 30 times, and when drinking 200 g of vodka - by 130 times! Some people, completely unreasonably, consider alcoholic drinks to be a miracle cure that can cure almost all diseases. Meanwhile, medical science has proven that

Alcoholic drinks do not have any healing effects.

Weak-willed people resort to the ghostly help of alcohol in all cases of adversity and deprivation, grief and failure, in the hope of creating for themselves the impression of well-being, instead of mobilizing all their strength to overcome difficulties. The grief from vodka will not decrease, but willpower and the ability to fight will be lost.

Social and psychological reasons

Scientists have proven: there are no safe doses of alcohol; already 100 g of vodka destroys 7.5 thousand actively working brain cells.

drinking alcohol Another, no less important reason for the widespread use of alcohol is its ability to relieve tension

, create the illusion of well-being. It begins to seem to a person that difficulties and everyday adversities are not of great importance. The reasons that give rise to alcohol abuse include: complication of human social environment

, increasing complexity of production and industrial relations. One of the forms of complication of the social environment is the movement of the rural population to cities - urbanization. Traditional seasonal consumption alcohol in rural areas is replaced by the so-called situational

– less controlled, more frequent, carried out not in the usual environment, but in random places. neuropsychic instability, unfavorable socio-professional and climatic-geographical factors, low level of education, shortcomings in upbringing, early onset of independent life, early age of onset of alcoholism, alcoholic customs of the environment, negative influence of drinking adults, misunderstanding of the principle of self-affirmation, narrow circle and instability interests, lack of hobbies and spiritual needs, meaningless spending of free time, conflicts in the family and disruption of the family structure and some others.

Thus, the development of the habit of drinking alcohol and its abuse with the subsequent development of alcoholic illness is caused by complex sets of factors. Conventionally, all these factors can be combined into the following groups.

1. Alcohol habits of the social microenvironment (family, immediate environment), early alcoholization.

2. Neuropsychic instability.

3. Biologically determined unequal tolerance to alcohol.

Intoxication and work ability

Labor activity is one of the forms of human adaptation to environmental conditions.

The introduction of alcohol into the human body leads to disorders of mental functions, manifested in changes in sensations, perception, memory, thinking, attention and imagination, disorders of the emotional and volitional sphere. Motor function is impaired. The functioning of the autonomic system, which ensures the stability of the body’s functioning, is disrupted.

There are several degrees of intoxication. With a mild degree, the concentration of alcohol in the blood can reach 1 - 2 cubic cm per liter, with a moderate degree - 2 - 3.5 cubic cm. cm per liter, exceeding this concentration leads to a state of severe intoxication.

The degree of alcohol intoxication depends on many factors: the type of alcoholic drink, the nature of its intake, the rate of absorption of alcohol, the state of the body, gender, age and other characteristics of the person. It increases with fatigue or illness, with low or high ambient temperatures or lack of oxygen.

Prerequisites for early alcoholism

Family. There are several types of families in which the child begins to drink alcohol more often than in other families. Formal characteristics are important, but they are not the main ones. According to sociological studies, in 31% of cases teenagers who drink lived in a structurally disturbed family. In 51% of adolescents, relationships between parents were conflicting even with a structurally intact family, 54% had a low educational level, and attention to children was insufficient in 53% of families.

Environmental influence. Modern children see examples of drunkenness from an early age. In kindergartens, 75% of children play “guest” with mutual “treats” of wine; 34% of girls and 43% of boys have already tried beer; 13% of girls and 30% of boys - vodka. The number of those who tried it grows over the years, reaching 75% by high school.

Thus, children not only observe wine drinking, but also take part in it. However, only in isolated cases does a teenager begin to abuse. At the same time, drunkenness in the environment is so widespread that a teenager who does not drink alcohol is surprised: why doesn’t he drink?

Deviations in the behavior of adolescents. Some characteristics of the behavior of a teenager who drinks alcohol are known. A directly proportional relationship has been established between alcohol abuse, crime, bad company, poor academic performance and a large amount of free time. However, the significance of these factors varies. So, not everyone who is a poor student drinks alcohol; on the other hand, drinking for some time sometimes does not affect academic performance. A lazy person who is not interested in studying, who is always “not given anything for homework”, whether he drinks alcohol or not, usually has more free time than a diligent student. Drunkenness and crime, bad company are often not causally related, but are equivalent consequences of a single cause.

Tobacco smoking

Smoking and nicotineism are the cause of many severe

diseases

Scientific research in recent years confirms and deepens our understanding of the effect of tobacco smoke - nicotine - on the body. Many people believe that tobacco stimulates energy, increases performance, and calms the nervous system, which is categorically refuted by medical science. It has been established that, at first glance, a harmless cloud of smoke contains toxic substances that affect not only the smoker’s body, but also the health of others, and especially children. In addition to nicotine, tobacco smoke contains and other harmful substances, namely: carbon monoxide, pyridine bases, hydrocyanic acid, hydrogen sulfide, carbon dioxide, ammonia, nitrogen, essential oils.

For a novice smoker, even one smoked cigarette can cause acute poisoning, which is characterized by: nausea, pallor, cold sweat, general weakness, increased heart rate, dizziness, tinnitus. The smoke from 25 cigarettes contains about two drops of pure nicotine, that is, an amount of poison that is enough to kill a dog. A mouse dies instantly if one drop of nicotine is injected into its eye.

A single dose of 0.08–0.16 g of nicotine is lethal for humans. Over the course of 30 years, an adult smokes an average of 200 thousand cigarettes, or 160 kg of tobacco, which contain 800 g of nicotine, equal to 10 lethal doses.

Prevalence of tobacco smoking and its causes

The habit of smoking today has captured a remarkable part of the world's population. According to rough estimates, about half of all men and a quarter of all women smoke.

In recent years, in developed countries, the sale of tobacco products has increased by 40%. In most European countries, about 50% of adult men smoke more than 15 cigarettes daily.

Smoking prevalence is influenced by factors such as education and occupation. Thus, people with higher education smoke less often than those with secondary education. The largest number of smokers have primary education.

Among students at various medical institutes, they want to quit smoking: men - from 50 to 88%, women - from 42 to 65% of respondents. Most associated their desire with deteriorating health.

A survey of smokers who are aware of the harm of tobacco showed that 43.9% of them cannot quit smoking because it has become a habit, 26% lack willpower, the rest named other reasons or did not answer.

It should be noted that throughout the world, especially in America and Western Europe and to a lesser extent in Russia, the increase in smokers is due to adolescents and women. In our country, there are currently approximately the same number of adult male smokers as there were in the 30s and 40s. At the same time, tobacco production, not counting imports, increased due to an increase in adolescents and women smoking.

The number of smokers especially increases at the age of 12–16 years. The largest percentage of smokers are boys aged 18 and girls aged 15-16.

Unfortunately, the number of schoolchildren who smoke in our country is relatively large. It varies in different areas. Thus, among randomly selected groups of 11th grade students in Moscow, 62.5% of boys and 16.7% of girls smoke.

The attraction to smoking tobacco occurs at an age when school, parents, and the public can have a great positive influence. We must not forget that although the smoking habit develops in childhood and adolescence, a negative attitude towards tobacco also develops during this period of life. The need to smoke is not inherent in the body. It appears due to insufficient education and environmental influences. Schoolchildren reach for a cigarette because smoking is fashionable and “prestigious.”

Children tend to imitate adults. Smoking by parents, especially mothers, has an extremely negative impact. The reasons for smoking in boys aged 8–9 years were: the influence of friends – in 26.8% of cases, curiosity – in 23.2%, self-indulgence – in 17.8%, imitation of adults – in 16.7% of cases. Teenagers, in the process of preparing to enter “adult life,” learn “adult norms” of behavior, including smoking. Teenagers see smoking as a sign of independence and adulthood. Smoking in a group becomes a kind of obligation, a ritual, a means of unity. Senior schoolchildren and junior students do not want to lag behind the “fashion”; there are some compelling reasons that force them to smoke. Usually, children and teenagers, in order not to appear weak, hide from their friends the unpleasant sensations caused by the first cigarettes they smoked. Gradually, their body adapts and develops a habit that is difficult to get rid of.

One of the main reasons for girls smoking is “fashion”. In our age, it is possible and fashionable for a “modern woman” to smoke; this allegedly asserts independence and complete equality with a man. The very process of smoking for a girl is elevated to a certain ritual. This is slowly taking out a cigarette, slowly kneading it with your fingers with a conspicuous manicure, lighting it from a mannerly presented lighter or match, smoking and releasing smoke through a ring of pursed, painted lips. It seems to her that all this “suits” her, allowing her to be considered modern. However, the property of fashion is that it comes and goes, but changes in the body caused by smoking may remain.

Smoking is increasingly passed on from one generation to the next. It, like a habit, has entered the everyday life of many people, becoming a strong need of life.

According to many scientists, smoking is one of the types of human social behavior. The process of smoking itself is an essential element in human communication.

Those around you suffer

In a room where people smoke, air pollution can increase 6 times. Girls working in the air of institutions saturated with cigarette smoke seem to smoke up to 20 cigarettes daily. The wife of a heavy smoker passively smokes 10–12 cigarettes per day, and his children – 6–7.

It should be noted that passive smoking is extremely harmful for people with chronic lung and heart diseases.

Smoking and performance

Under the influence of smoking, visual acuity decreases. The sniper, who scored 96 points out of a possible 100, scored only 40 points after smoking several cigarettes.

Sports and smoking are incompatible. Significant physical activity during training and competitions aggravates the severity of the consequences of smoking. The heart muscle of an athlete-smoker is weakened. Under the influence of nicotine, coordination of movements worsens and their accuracy decreases.

Addiction

About drug addiction and substance abuse

Any drug is dangerous, even a one-time sample. When repeating the test, a habit appears imperceptibly but inevitably. In the absence of a drug, a person experiences a painful state - withdrawal. He is haunted by despair, anxiety, irritability, impatience, pain in bones and muscles; he, as if under torture, suffers from severe insomnia or nightmares. Taking medications stops this torment. But not for long. The body requires a new shake-up. And again, under the influence of the drug, the nervous system is excited. Ecstasy, morbid delight, illusions or hallucinations may occur. But then it seems as if there is a fall from the top into a deep abyss - braking follows. The mood becomes extremely depressed, depressed, and severe depression sets in.

Substance abusers achieve intoxication by using aerosols - volatile toxic substances that, when inhaled, are quickly absorbed by the lungs and immediately penetrate the brain. Aerosols, like alcohol, delay the flow of oxygen into the blood, and, as is known, the human brain and central nervous system cannot do without oxygen. Depressed breathing, loss of self-control, and sometimes loss of consciousness are the most typical signs and consequences of substance abuse.

Aerosol intoxication, repeated several times, can be fatal. The medical literature describes cases with tragic consequences. The teenager, having inhaled aerosols, fell from a high-floor balcony. Another lost consciousness and fell from a steep cliff into the river. Cases have been recorded where drug addicts simply died from suffocation.

Inhalation of aerosols and colloidal liquid mixtures, as established during research, disrupts the activity of the kidneys and liver, organs that a person cannot do without.

It has also been revealed that inhalation of certain aerosol substances leads to critical heart failure occurring at the slightest physical stress, for example during dancing.

Even a one-time sample of poisonous aerosols and drugs leaves a trace in the most sensitive nerve cells of the brain, in the liver and kidneys, the muscles of the heart, and in vital organs.

Treating drug addicts is difficult, but success is not always guaranteed. The duration of treatment depends on how long the teenager has been using drugs. The longer it is, the longer and more difficult the treatment process is.

Conclusion

drug addicts are at risk of spreading AIDS.

Alcohol disrupts the body’s correct reactions to environmental influences and to various changes in itself as a well-balanced system; pervertedly reflects the real world, violates the correctness of mental reactions, makes them inaccurate and inconsistent with the real situation.

It is necessary to create a broad front of struggle for a healthy lifestyle, against immoral and criminal phenomena, for the happiness and well-being of Soviet people. This struggle must be general, constant, long-lasting, persistent and purposeful.

There is no need to avoid “sensitive” topics, put rose-colored glasses on our children, pretend that there is no bad in our lives, and if there is, it is somewhere far away, in another place. Let them see what they are doing and at what price they buy the “high”, let them know that retribution is inevitable - with their health, happiness, their lives. And before it’s too late, it’s not hopeless, let’s all think together about how to fill these gaping voids. Understand. Help. Save.
