Let Us Discover

Gateway drugs such as cigarettes and alcohol are legal drugs. A non-drug user might
try, leading him/her to more dangerous drugs such as marijuana and shabu.

Since cigarettes and alcohol are readily available and generally accepted in our society, many
people use them for various purposes. Teenagers like you are especially vulnerable because
they are more curious and risk-takers.

Health experts explained that the continuous increase in cigarette use and alcohol
consumption by Filipino teenagers is due to its very cheap price. Many pro-health groups are
now asking the government to increase taxes on cigarette and alcohol companies. The
increase in taxes will likewise increase cigarette and alcohol prices in the country.

Each time a person puffs a cigarette or chew tobacco, more than 4,000 chemicals come
into his/her contact. All these chemicals harm people in one way or another. In studies
conducted, 43 of these chemicals are known carcinogens.
Carcinogens are substances which cause cancer. Nicotine, the addictive drug found in
tobacco products like cigarettes is a poisonous stimulant. A stimulant drug increases the
central nervous system (CNS) activity.
The central nervous system controls all body organs like the heart, lungs, brain, and
processes like heart rate, blood pressure rate, respiration rate, and more.
Every time a cigarette is lit, smoke is emitted. There are three smokes produced by
cigarette smoking namely:

 1. Mainstream Smoke – refers specifically to the smoke that a smoker directly inhales.

2. Sidestream Smoke – the smoke that comes out of the lighted end of a cigarette or
pipe. This is also called “second-hand smoke” (SHS) or “environmental tobacco
smoke” (ETS). This is more dangerous than mainstream smoke.

3. Third-hand Smoke – smoke left for a long time on the sofa, beddings, pillow and other
objects. This smoke also called residual tobacco smoke (RTS) settles along with
dust and can last for months. This smoke still contains harmful chemicals and
carcinogens.
