The term “Gateway Drug” is used to describe any drug that a non-drug user might
try out. Cigarettes and Alcohol are “gateway drugs”, these drugs are legal drugs that
are readily accessible. People who abuse more dangerous drugs such as marijuana and
shabu often start from cigarette smoking and drinking alcohol.

Since cigarettes and alcohol are readily available Gateway drugs are introductory,
habit-forming substances that give way to more severe drug use down the road. They
are typically milder, fairly-accessible substances – for example, alcohol or marijuana
– that are first used in adolescence or young adulthood. These easy-to-get, easy-to-use
drugs familiarize young users with first feelings of intoxication.

Drugs like marijuana and alcohol boost a user’s dopamine levels, which therefore
produces feelings of euphoria and pleasure. This is the “high” that first-time users
experience. As they use more and more regularly, the user develops a tolerance and
experiences less of the drug’s effect. This may lead some to seek out different drugs
that cause a more dramatic high – which is often where addiction begins.

What is the Most Common Gateway Drug?

While many believe marijuana is the leading gateway drug, studies show that alcohol
is actually the most popular substance tried among first-time users. According to the
American Addiction Centers, nearly 66 percent of surveyed Americans reported
alcohol as their first substance used, followed by tobacco and marijuana. Alcohol is
typically initiated in adolescence, often in the form of binge drinking.

Adolescence: The Gateway Period

The brain does not fully develop until a person’s mid-twenties – it is undergoing a lot
of dynamic changes during the teenage and early adult years. Any drug or alcohol use
before age 25 can disrupt the brain’s progress and pose great risk. As Turnbridge
detailed in a recent infographic, any habits that happen during adolescence – both
positive ones, such as algebra, or negative ones, such as drug use – are learned and
stored.

Adolescence is also associated with heightened levels of dopamine activity. There’s

more dopamine in the brain’s reward center in early adolescence than at any other
point in life. This causes teens to go out and seek rewarding, pleasurable experiences,
such as experimenting with new drugs. Not to mention, the parts of the brain
dedicated to decision-making, self-control, and judgement are the last to fully mature.
Teens and young adults are therefore more likely to make hasty decisions, act on
impulse, and try drugs, without foreseeing the consequences.

The teacher will give answer sheets to students and let them answer the following
questions:

Why Do Teens Drink?
Abstraction: Experimentation with alcohol during the teen years is common. Some reasons that
(10 minutes) teens use alcohol and other drugs are:

curiosity
to feel good, reduce stress, and relax
to fit in
to feel older
From a very young age, kids see advertising messages showing beautiful people
enjoying life — and alcohol. And because many parents and other adults use alcohol
socially — having beer or wine with dinner, for example — alcohol seems harmless
to many teens.

Why Shouldn't I Drink?

Although it's illegal to buy alcohol in the United States until the age of 21, most teens
can get access to it. It's therefore up to you to make a decision about drinking. In
addition to the possibility of becoming addicted, there are some downsides to
drinking:

The punishment is severe. Teens who drink put themselves at risk for obvious
problems with the law (it's illegal; you can get arrested). Teens who drink are also
more likely to get into fights and commit crimes than those who don't.

People who drink regularly also often have problems with school. Drinking can
damage a student's ability to study well and get decent grades, as well as affect sports
performance (the coordination thing).

Alcohol puts your health at risk. Teens who drink are more likely to be sexually active
and to have unsafe, unprotected sex. Resulting pregnancies and sexually transmitted
diseases can change — or even end — lives. The risk of injuring yourself, maybe
even fatally, is higher when you're under the influence, too. One half of all drowning
deaths among teen guys are related to alcohol use. Use of alcohol greatly increases the
chance that a teen will be involved in a car crash, homicide, or suicide.

Teen drinkers are more likely to get fat or have health problems, too. One study by the
University of Washington found that people who regularly had five or more drinks in
a row starting at age 13 were much more likely to be overweight or have high blood
pressure by age 24 than their nondrinking peers. People who continue drinking
heavily well into adulthood risk damaging their organs, such as the liver, heart, and
brain.

How Can I Avoid Drinking?

If all your friends drink and you don't want to, it can be hard to say "no, thanks." No
one wants to risk feeling rejected or left out. Different strategies for turning down
alcohol work for different people. Some people find it helps to say no without giving
an explanation, others think offering their reasons works better ("I'm not into
drinking," "I have a game tomorrow," or "my uncle died from drinking," for example).
Where Can I Get Help?
If you think you have a drinking problem, get help as soon as possible. The best
approach is to talk to an adult you trust. If you can't approach your parents, talk to
your doctor, school counselor, clergy member, aunt, or uncle. It can be hard for some
people to talk to adults about these issues, but a supportive person in a position to help
can refer students to a drug and alcohol counselor for evaluation and treatment.

What If I'm Concerned About Someone Else's Drinking?

Sometimes people live in homes where a parent or other family member drinks too
much. This may make you angry, scared, and depressed. Many people can't control
their drinking without help. This doesn't mean that they love or care about you any
less. Alcoholism is an illness that needs to be treated just like other illnesses.
How to Prevent/Avoid Drinking?

1. Set a good example (for parents)

Teen smoking is more common among teens whose parents smoke. If you smoke,
quit. Ask your doctor about ways to stop smoking.
2. Understand the attraction
Teen smoking can be a form of rebellion or a way to fit in with a particular group of
friends. Teens may smoke to feel cool or independent.
 3. Say no
You might feel as if your teen doesn't hear a word you say, but say it anyway. Tell
your teen that smoking and vaping aren't allowed. Your disapproval will have more
impact than you think.
4. Think beyond cigarettes
Teens often think that electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes), as well as smokeless
tobacco, clove cigarettes (kreteks), candy-flavored cigarettes (bidis) and water pipes
(hookahs), are less harmful or addictive than are traditional cigarettes. But they all
carry health risks.

E-cigarettes are battery-operated devices that heat a liquid (usually but not always
containing nicotine), turning it into a vapor that can be inhaled. Research suggests that
e-cigarettes cause users to inhale potentially harmful chemicals. E-cigarettes can also
get teens hooked on nicotine and make the use of tobacco products seem normal,
which could lead to the use of cigarettes.
5. Appeal to your teen's vanity
Remind your teen that smoking gives you bad breath. It makes your clothes and hair
smell, and it turns your fingers and teeth yellow. Smoking can also leave you with a
chronic cough.
6. Do the math
Smoking is expensive. Help your teen calculate the weekly, monthly or yearly cost of
smoking or vaping every day. You might compare the cost of smoking with that of
smart phones, clothes or other teen essentials.
7. Expect peer pressure
Give your teen the tools he or she needs to refuse cigarettes. Rehearse how to handle
tough social situations. It might be as simple as saying, "No thanks. I don't smoke."
8. Take addiction seriously
Most teens believe that occasional smoking won't cause them to become addicted and
that, if they become regular smokers, they can stop smoking anytime they want.
Teens, however, can become addicted after smoking as few as five packs of cigarettes.
Remind your teen that most adult smokers start as teens. Once you're hooked, it's
tough to quit.
9. Consider the future
Teens tend to assume that bad things happen only to other people. Use loved ones,
friends, neighbors or celebrities who've had tobacco-related illnesses as real-life
examples of the harm tobacco use can cause.
10. Get involved
Take an active stance against teen smoking. Participate in local and school-sponsored
smoking prevention campaigns. Support efforts to make public places smoke-free and
increase taxes on tobacco products. Smoking is one of the best things your teen can do
for a lifetime of good health.
Application: GROUP ACTIVITY
(15 minutes)
In the same group, the students will be given the opportunity to express the concept of
culture thru differentiated activities (collage, posters, dance, songs and etc.) The
teacher will use a holistic rubric in assessing and evaluating the performance of the
learners.

Assessment To further reinforce the knowledge of the learners towards the tackled topics the
(10 minutes) following questions are used to assess them.

1. What are the gateway drugs?

2. Why are they called gateway drugs?
3. How can gateway drugs open doors for teenagers like you to try more
dangerous drugs?
4. Analyze the implications of cigarette smoking and alcohol use on: self,
family, environment, community, and country?
