Why Drugs?

In this presentation I will explain why not to use drugs, how it effects you, why teens do it, and why avoiding drugs will benefit your health.

In the next slide I will list why teens use drugs.

Five reasons why teens smoke/use drugs?

• * They think it makes them look older
• * others think they feel older
• * many think that it makes them fit in
• * They think it makes them relax
• * Or they are already addicted to smoking because of the nicotine in cigarettes

The first Reason to not use drugs

Smoking drugs does not make people older. Rather in multiple studies smoking can cause lung cancer. It can also cause tooth loss and infect the throat. It can also make you more nervous than you already are.

The second reason to not use drugs.

drugs should not be forced onto other people. Nor should it be a norm to be in a friend group. Not only does smoking drugs make people high but it also affects the brain. Some ways it can affect the brain is by making them addicted to the drug and not able to function without the chemical.

A third reason to not smoke

Although drugs can calm you down it can also affect your brain. It can interfere with the way neurons are sent, received, and process signals through neurotransmitters. But a thing to keep in mind is, that when people are physically addicted it can make your body not able to function without the drug.

The last reason to not use drugs or smoke.

Smoking is bad enough but smoking drugs is way more dangerous. Cigarettes have nicotine which is addictive. It also has tar that can cause the blackening of lungs. Although some drugs have the ability to calm the nerves it can also kill the nerve that is being controlled. In this case it can disturb the normal function of the brain.

In the end..

After all is said and done, I think it should be recognized that smoking and taking drugs will harm you mentally, physically, and emotionally. It is never worth to damage yourself in an irreversible way. So I hope that you have learned enough to not let yourself into temptation.
