Co existence with drugs!

There are many effects that drugs give on people. Such as heart problems, lung problems, mouth problems, stomach problems, or problems with any other organ in your body. Drugs even cause death. For instance, alcohol damages your brain and could distort your vision. It is no better than other drugs. Alcohol causes blackouts and leads to memory loss. It damages your brain which damages other organs in your body. If you smoke tobacco or cigarettes you are putting nicotine in your body. Nicotine effects the brain quickly and produces feelings of pressure and is extremely addicting. Cigarette smoking accounts for about one third of all cancers including about 90% of lung cancer diseases. Cigarettes increases the risk of heart disease, including stroke, heart attack, vascular disease, and aneurysm. Smoking has also been linked to leukemia. On average, adults who smoke die 14 years earlier than non smokers. Other drugs could do just the same thing, but if you try hard enough there is a cure for the addiction of drugs such as alcohol and smoking. The parts of the brain that control emotions, memory, and judgement are affected by marijuana. Marijuana causes short term memory loss, and weakens problem solving skills. It can also block information from making it into long term memory. After you get addicted to these types of drugs, your body depends on them and pretty soon you feel like you can't live without them. I suggest that if you are starting to get addicted to drugs, that you should try to stop and get help before it's too late. Save yourself while you can.
