These easy-to-get, easy-to-use drugs familiarize young users with first feelings of
intoxication. Over time, it is thought that young users gain confidence and decide, “Hey, if I
can handle this, what else can I try that will get me high?”
That’s where the gateway effect comes in – young users who try one drug are more
likely to try more. Most often, the substances they take the second- or third- time around are
stronger, with more risky side effects: heroin, prescription pills, cocaine. There is a science
behind this.
Gateway drugs are drugs (as alcohol or cigarettes) whose use is thought to lead to the
use of and dependence on a harder drug (as cocaine or heroin). Since cigarettes and alcohol are
readily available and generally accepted in our society.
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 you are curious and risk-takers. According to the study done by the National Youth
Commission (NYC), 2 out of 5 Filipino teenagers aged 13 to 15 years old smoke cigarettes
([Link], March 16, 2012). Furthermore, in a study conducted by an anti-tobacco group
in the year 2011, ten Filipinos die every year of tobacco-related diseases (Philippine Daily
Inquirer, Sept. 19, 2011). 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 study the editorial cartoon on the right side. Describe
the picture. Do you agree with what the picture intends to tell you? Gateway drugs such as
cigarettes and alcohol are legal drugs that a non-drug user might try, which can lead him/her to
more dangerous drugs such as marijuana and shabu.

WHAT TO KNOW
MELCS: Analyzes the negative health impact of cigarette smoking

• Explain the impact of cigarette smoking on the family, environment, and community.
H8S-IVb-c-29
Tobacco is a tall, leafy plant, originally grown in South and Central America, but now
cultivated throughout the world. There are many species of tobacco but Nicotiana tabacum or
sometimes called common tobacco is preferred for producing present day cigarettes. Tobacco
use has been recorded as early as 600-900 C.E. as carved drawings on stones, were
discovered in Mexico. American Indians smoked it for special religious occasions and
medical purposes only. They never smoked cigar every day.
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), tobacco smoking and chewing is
the second leading cause of death around the world. It is responsible for the death of one in
ten adults worldwide approximately reaching about 5 million deaths in a year. It is estimated
that the death toll will rise to 10 million each year by the year 2020. Each time a person puffs
a cigarette or chew tobacco, more than 4,000 chemicals come into his/her contact. All of
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.
Side stream 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.
Third-hand Smoke – smoke left for a long time on 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
According to Newton’s Third Law of Motion, in every action there is always equal
and opposite reaction. Realistically, smoking cigarette may cause harm and imbalances
towards family, environment and community.
Several researches found out the major impact of cigarette smoking to family,
environment and community as indicated below:
A. Family
1. Secondhand smoke, spouses and children of people who smoke have an
increased risk of cancer and heart disease.
2. Babies whose parents smoke are more likely to have ear infections,
pneumonia, and bronchitis in the first few years of their lives. They can also
possibly have higher risk of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS).
3. Children of people who smoke are more likely to become smokers themselves.
B. Environment
1. Surveys and clinical studies prove that smoking cigarettes cause several health
risks for humans.
2. It has contributed to major deforestation in the areas where tobacco is planted.
3. The entire process of cultivating, curing, and transporting tobacco needs the
use of a large amount of chemical and other toxic materials which can harm
the environment and biological system.
4. It may also cause air pollution, soil and land pollution and any other related
pollutions.
C. Community
1. Smoking cigarette can harm everyone. Secondhand smoking can cause several
related diseases.
2. It can cause diminishing economic growth. If majority of the population in the
Philippines is experiencing related diseases caused by secondhand smoking, it
may cause economic problems.
3. Population might decrease.

Create a poster either manual or digital which depicts the cause and effect of cigarette
use. You can use junk materials to create a three-dimensional art. Include a title and
short description of your masterwork.
We should stop cigarette smoking! In this case, create your own slogan advocacy

1. Short bond paper 2. Pencil/Ball pen/Marker 3. Coloring materials
Think about how you would plan to advocate the society to stop smoking.
Accomplish the table below by putting a check mark at the appropriate column after each
question. Remember the points that contribute success to stop smoking.
Alcohol is a colorless, bitter-tasting substance that humans have been consuming since
the ancient times. It comes from plants that underwent fermentation. Fermentation is the
process of extracting alcohol from a plant or a fruit. An example of fermented alcohol is a beer.
A beer is extracted from grains. On the other hand, wines are from grapes and other fruits.
There are three types of alcohol: isopropyl, methanol, and ethanol. Isopropyl and methanol are
used in laboratories and are poisonous and fatal if taken. On the other hand, ethanol is also
called the beverage alcohol. When humans consume this in an unregulated amount, it may
result in intoxication and alteration of the nervous system.
Do you know that alcohol is a depressant? It means that when taken, it slows down the
processes of a person’s central nervous system. It is not true that alcohol gives extra strength
and energy. In addition, alcohol has very little nutritional value. They only provide empty
calories.
How does alcohol go into your body? How is it absorbed? Fill in the blanks with
correct information.
Alcohol enters the body first through the ______________.
In the __________, alcohol is converted into water, and carbon dioxide.
Most alcohol enters the bloodstream through the ____________________.
Within 10-20 heartbeats, alcohol in the bloodstream reaches the_________________.
The ____________________ pumps alcohol in the bloodstream throughout the body.
Alcohol is filtered in the ___________, leaving salts and acids, and then exits the
body through urination.
When alcohol enters the bloodstream, it goes in all the parts of the body. The main
effect of alcohol drinking reflects on a person’s central nervous system (CNS). The CNS
controls one’s mental processes, memory, speech, learning and decision-making. It also affects
a person’s senses, feelings, movement, and breathing.
The amount of alcohol that entered in the bloodstream at a certain period can be
measured in percentages through blood-alcohol concentration (BAC) or most often called
blood alcohol level (BAL). A BAC of 0.05 percent means there are 5 parts of alcohol per
10,000 parts of blood in the body. A 0.3- 0.5 percent BAC could lead to coma, brain damages,
and death.
Study the situations below. What are the physical and mental effects of every alcohol
bottle to the drinker’s body? Each bottle of alcohol has corresponding BAC/BAL. Complete
the columns by writing the physical and mental effects of alcohol.
