Substance Abuse (Pages 7-11)

• Definition: Non-medical use altering mental/physical status adversely; leads to addiction.
• Common Substances: Tobacco, alcohol, marijuana, opium, solvents, gutka, paan.
• Reasons: Low self-esteem, peer pressure, family history, media glamor, easy availability, social approval.
• Case: Sohan: Stress → smoking habit; discussion points on prevention.
• Effects: Short-term (distorted senses, hangovers); Long-term (organ damage, low immunity, HIV risk, overdose death, family/society impact, crimes). Activity: Discuss abuser’s life effects.
• Prevention: Life skills, say no to peers, family support, scientific info, productive activities (e.g., learning centers). Expanded: Evidence: Pregnancy harms fetus; debates: Legal vs illegal drugs; real: 2025 anti-vape campaigns.

Assessment (Page 12)
