Smoking
Smoking is a very addictive and risky hobby. So why do people start doing it in the first place ? Firstly sometimes people try their first cigarette , they like it and so they start doing it more regularly. Secondly some people start smoking because there ’s a rumour saying that it’s slimming. And another reason may be that it may relieve stress . After three or four cigarettes you get addicted to it because of nicotine. It is a drug that stimulates the brain . When the level of nicotine falls in your blood and you’re a regular smoker, you usually develop withdrawal symptoms, such as craving, anxiety , restlessness, headaches, irritability, hunger , difficulty with concentration, or just feeling awful. These symptoms are relieved by the next cigarette. Most smokers need to smoke regularly to feel normal and to prevent nicotine withdrawal symptoms. So once you start smoking it is very hard to quit .

Cigarette smoke contains over 4,000 chemicals, including over 50 known carcinogens ( causes of cancer ) and other poisons. In addition to different kinds

Drugs and how they affect your health.

Drugs are chemicals that change the way a person's body works. You've probably heard that drugs are bad for you, but what does that mean and why are they bad? Medicines Are Legal Drugs If you've ever been sick and had to take medicine, you already know about one kind of drugs. Medicines are legal drugs, meaning doctors are allowed to prescribe them for patients, stores can sell them, and people are allowed to buy them. But it's not legal, or safe, for people to use these medicines any way they want. Cigarettes and Alcohol Cigarettes and alcohol are two other kinds of legal drugs. (In Estonia, adults 18 can buy cigarettes and alcohol.) But smoking and excessive drinking are not healthy for adults and off limits for kids. Nicotine is the drug in tobacco leaves

Decriminalizing Cannabis in Estonia

deaths by fentanyl are raising and current drug policy is not doing its job. According to the most recent data, Estonia's overdose mortality rate is seven times the average in the EU. This is a big concern for a country as little as Estonia, and also a reason why the decriminalizing cannabis topic has grown so popular lately. Cannabis, as a soft drug, is criminalized in Estonia and that fact leads people to go after stronger drugs because by the law they are on the same scale. The popularity of “China white” is growing in Estonia, as it is so easily accessible, but so does the mortality rate because it is very easy to overdose on fentanyl. Estonia should re- form its drug policy because stricter laws and punishments do not change society for the better and current drug policy is not showing any positive effect either. The reason why Estonia should consider decriminalizing cannabis is that the history of

Bad Habits Of Youth

It is not important that only youth is attracted to such things even our elders are as you must have heard this line "Negative attracts more than positive". Now why am I focusing on youth only then?
