They adversely affect the health of the addicts and the society.

Now the tobacco plant has spread the world over. It has large, quote to lanceolate leaves and terminal clusters of tubular, white or pink flowers. Modes of Use: Tobacco is used for smoking, chewing and snuffing. Its main stimulating component is poisonous volatile alkaloid nicotine, which causes addiction.

Alcohol i quickly absorbed in the stomach and upper part of small intestine and reaches all the tissues in minutes. Its oxidation starts at once and large amount of heat in produced. Since heat is not needed in the body, its taken up by the blood and carried to the skin for dissipation. Since the receptors of heat are located in the skin, the rush of blood to the skin gives a false impression of warmth inthe body. The blood supply of intemal organs is greatly reduced resting in fll of temperature in them. The energy released by alcohol is not used in any life process Rather the energy derived from foods used up in ridding the body of excess heat. Is Alcohol A Stimulant? Many people take alcohol for stimulation. Actually, alcohol is a depressant, 1 substance which dulls the senses. It reduces the efficiency of every tissue the body.
