Learning Competency : DISCUSSES GATEWAY DRUGS ( H8S-Iva-27)
Reference: PHYSICAL EDUCATION AND HEALTH ( LEARNING MATERIAL 8 ) LAS No.: H4.1

CONCEPT NOTES:
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.
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
(philstar.com, 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 increase taxes of cigarette and alcohol companies. The
increase in taxes will likewise increase cigarette and alcohol prices in the country.

EXERCISE:

1. What do the picture is all about?


2. Do you agree with what the picture intends to tell you? Why?
3. If you are the boy/girl will you cross the gate? Why?
4. In your own opinion why is it that smoking cigarette and drinking alcohol can lead you to use illegal drugs such as
shabu? Give a concrete example/situation.

PARTS OF THE BODY
Reference: PHYSICAL EDUCATION AND HEALTH ( LEARNING MATERIAL 8 ) LAS No.: H4.2

CONCEPT NOTES:
Effects of smoking tobacco on the body

Inhaling tobacco smoke causes damage to many of the body’s organs and systems.

Effects of smoking on the respiratory system


The effects of tobacco smoke on the respiratory system include:
irritation of the trachea (windpipe) and larynx (voice box)
reduced lung function and breathlessness due to swelling and narrowing of the lung airways and excess mucus
in the lung passages
impairment of the lungs’ clearance system, leading to the build-up of poisonous substances, which results in
lung irritation and damage
increased risk of lung infection and symptoms such as coughing and wheezing
permanent damage to the air sacs of the lungs.

Effects of smoking on the circulatory system


The effects of tobacco smoke on the circulatory system include:
raised blood pressure and heart rate
constriction (tightening) of blood vessels in the skin, resulting in a drop in skin temperature
Less oxygen carried by the blood during exercise
‘stickier’ blood, which is more prone to clotting
damage to the lining of the arteries, which is thought to be a contributing factor to atherosclerosis (the build-up
of fatty deposits on the artery walls)
reduced blood flow to extremities (fingers and toes)

Effects of smoking on the immune system


The effects of tobacco smoke on the immune system include:
greater susceptibility to infections such as pneumonia and influenza
more severe and longer-lasting illnesses
lower levels of protective antioxidants (such as vitamin C), in the blood.

Effects of smoking on the musculoskeletal system


The effects of tobacco smoke on the musculoskeletal system include:
tightening of certain muscles
reduced bone density.

Effects of smoking on the sexual organs


The effects of tobacco smoke on the male body include an increased risk for:
lower sperm count
higher percentage of deformed sperm
genetic damage to sperm
impotence, which may be due to the effects of smoking on blood flow and damage to the blood vessels of the
penis.

The effects of tobacco smoke on the female body include:


reduced fertility, menstrual cycle irregularities, or absence of menstruation

menopause reached one or two years earlier


increased risk of cancer of the cervix
greatly increased risk of stroke and heart attack if the person who smokes is aged over 35 years and taking the
oral contraceptive pill.

Effects of smoking on babies


The effects of maternal smoking on an unborn baby include:
increased risk of miscarriage, stillbirth and premature birth
weaker lungs
low birth weight, which may have a lasting effect of the growth and development of children.
Low birth weight is associated with an increased risk of heart disease, high blood pressure, and diabetes in
adulthood increased risk of cleft palate and cleft lip
increased risk of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).

What are the short-term effects of smoking?


Bad breath.
Bad taste in mouth.
Smelly hair and clothes.
Yellow and brown stains on teeth.
Lost athletic ability.
Damage to the respiratory system.
Addiction to nicotine.
Risk of other drug use.
Decreased lung capacity.
Limited lung growth and function if used in youth.
Elevated heart rate.
Chronic cough.
Increased incidence of bronchitis.
Increased incidence of asthma and more severe asthma.

Diseases caused by long-term smoking


A person who smokes throughout their life is at high risk of developing a range of potentially lethal diseases, including:
cancer of the lung, mouth, nose, larynx, tongue, nasal sinus, oesophagus, throat, pancreas, bone marrow (myeloid
leukaemia), kidney, cervix, ovary, ureter, liver, bladder, bowel and stomach
lung diseases such as chronic bronchitis and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, which includes obstructive
bronchiolitis and emphysema
heart disease and stroke
ulcers of the digestive system
osteoporosis and hip fracture
poor blood circulation in feet and hands, which can lead to pain and, in severe cases, gangrene and amputation
type 2 diabetes
rheumatoid arthritis.

EXERCISE: TRUE OR FALSE


Direction: Write T if the statement is true and F if the statement is false.
1. Type 2 diabetes is a short-term effect of smoking.
2. Smoking cigarette can increase incidence of asthma and more severe asthma.

C. EXPLAIN THE IMPACT OF CIGARETTE SMOKING ON THE FAMILY, ENVIRONMENT AND COMMUNITY
Reference: PHYSICAL EDUCATION AND HEALTH ( LEARNING MATERIAL 8 ) LAS No.: H4.3

CONCEPT NOTES:
DANGERS OF MAINSTREAM, SECOND HAND AND THIRD HAND SMOKE
Every time a cigarette is lit, smoke is emitted. There are three smokes produced by cigarette smoking namely:

1. Mainstream Smoke – refers specifically to the smoke that a smoker directly inhales.
2. 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 because it is not filtered and is easily
absorbed by body cells.
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) classifies secondhand smoke as a Group A Carcinogen. This means
that cigarette smoke has substances known to cause cancer to humans. Short exposures to secondhand smoke
can also cause changes in a passive smoker's blood, making blood platelets stickier, adding friction to the blood
vessels causing damages to its lining and thus causes an increase in heart rate and performance (www.epa.gov).
3. 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.

THE IMPACT OF CIGARETTE SMOKING ON THE FAMILY, ENVIRONMENT AND COMMUNITY


THE FAMILY
Lighting up around them increases their risk of developing ear infections, asthma, and other breathing complications—
like coughs, shortness of breath, and even bronchitis. Children who grow up watching their parents smoke are also more
likely to become smokers as teens.

THE ENVIRONMENT
Tobacco products negatively impact and damage our environment. Cigarette butts are not just a nuisance, they are toxic
waste. They contain chemicals that contaminate our waterways and ground soil and harm our wildlife. Discarded
lit cigarettes can cause fires, which can damage homes and land.

THE COMMUNITY
Tobacco kills up to half of its users. Tobacco kills more than 8 million people each year. More than 7 million of those
deaths are the result of direct tobacco use while around 1.2 million are the result of non-smokers being exposed to
second-hand smoke. Over 80% of the world's 1.3 billion tobacco users live in low- and middle-income countries.

CONCEPT NOTES:

WHAT IS BAC?
Blood Alcohol Concentration (BAC) is the amount of alcohol in the blood at any given time. A
BAC of .10 means that a person’s blood contains one part alcohol to 1000 parts blood. The only thing
that can lower BAC is time.
Factors that can affect BAC are gender, amount of alcohol ingested, weight, speed of consumption, metabolism,
food in the stomach (how much and what type), and medications.

 1/5 of all teen drivers involved in fatal car accidents have a BAC of 0.01%.

CONCEPT NOTES:

IMPACT OF DRINKING ALCOHOL ON THE FAMILY AND COMMUNITY


THE FAMILY
1. Damaged Family Relationships
One way in which alcoholism affects families is in damaged relationships. Families of people affected by alcohol
abuse often struggle to create strong emotional bonds, even within their family unit. This starts with the parents.
2. Developmental Issues In Neglected Children
Children of parents who struggle with alcoholism are at higher risk for cognitive, behavioral, and emotional
problems. Since an estimated 6.6 million children live in households where alcoholism is present, this is a significant
concern.
Sadly, parents who are struggling with alcohol addiction are often neglectful of both the physical and emotional needs of
their children. This leads to serious developmental issues for the kids.
3. Domestic Abuse
One of the most sobering effects of alcoholism is an increased risk for domestic abuse within the family. Abuse
tied to alcoholism can be either emotional or physical in nature.
4. Drained Family Finances
The habit of consuming alcohol on a regular basis is expensive. While the total amount spent on alcohol will vary
depending on the frequency and type chosen, the costs add up.
5. Physical And Mental Health Issues
Finally, a battle with alcoholism affects the physical and mental health of most members of the family. The
individual fighting addiction will deal with physical health issues because of the impact of excessive alcohol
consumption.
Family members of those fighting alcoholism may also struggle with guilt and feelings that they somehow are the cause
of their loved one’s disorder.

THE COMMUNITY
Concerns to the community that are associated with alcohol use include noise, litter, offensive behavior,
vandalism, aggression, petty crime, assault and road safety issues. Many of these social consequences can result to
violence or injury to others.

EXERCISE: READ, REACT AND SUGGEST

1.Our barangay is known for alcoholic drinkers. Almost every week, there are reported cases of fist fights and murder

CONCEPT NOTES:

HEALTHY ALTERNATIVES TO CIGARETES AND ALCOHOL TO PROMOTE HEALTHY LIFE

We would save ourselves a lot of trouble and hassle if we could find ways to manage stress and busy days in
ways other than drinking alcohol. Our natural reaction to bad news, busy weeks, or hard days is often to have a drink.
We seem to think that alcohol soothes the mind, or medicates our nerves, or maybe that it is our reward after enduring
something negative. But we forget about how alcohol makes us feel the morning after, and how much time and money
we actually waste on this substance that usually causes more harm than good. So maybe the next time we experience
hardship, we shouldn’t reach for the alcohol. Maybe we shouldn’t make so many jokes about how a mom is really going
to need a drink after that long day with the kids. Maybe we shouldn’t encourage co-workers to come out to the bar to
drink their stresses from the day away.

There are many reasons to quit smoking, including better health, the high cost of cigarettes and no-smoking
bans in public places. However, fighting the urge to reach for a smoke can be tough when you're addicted. Healthy
alternatives can distract you from lighting up and keep your hands and mouth busy
1. Busy Hands
Keeping your hands occupied can prevent you from putting tobacco to your lips. Consider starting a blog about your
smoking-cessation journey or blogging about your efforts to fight your nicotine cravings. Typing will keep your fingers
flying and away from your smokes.
2. Exercise
Physical activity will help get your mind off the urge to smoke and can reduce the intensity of your tobacco craving.
According to MayoClinic.com, 30 minutes of moderate exercise can make a tobacco craving go away. Exercise can also
reduce the chances of relapsing after you give up smoking, notes the National Institutes of Health’s Weight-Control
Information Network.
3. Calling for Support
Having a supportive friend or family member to call when you feel like lighting up can often be the motivation you
need to resist.
4. Rewarding Yourself
Instead of lighting up, give yourself a reward for resisting the urge. Buy a book you’ve been wanting to read, go out to
eat at your favorite restaurant or treat yourself to a movie. Bonus: You won’t be able to smoke during the two-hour
movie, providing an additional healthy alternative. Put money into a jar every time you successfully fight a nicotine
craving and use the cash for your reward.
