Alcohol Prevention

Alcohol is dangerous. It causes more deaths than any other drug because people often underestimate the short-term and long-term effects it can have on your body.

Short-term immediate effects (being under the influence) are likely to cause bad decisions that can result in hurt feelings, arguments and injuries, to name a few.

Long-term effects include physical and mental health problems. Childhood and adolescent development can be greatly affected, chronic disease develops, and altered thought patterns can form.

Put down thecigarettes!

Know the addiction
to help end it

Cigarettes contain more than 4000 chemical products, including 50 that are known to cause cancer. These chemicals come naturally from tobacco and artificially from manufacturers.

One of these chemicals is nicotine, which is one of the most addictive substances in the world.

Although it is difficult, you can quit. Nicotine patches or gum, coupled with strong willpower and a commitment will help.

Alcohol Externalities

Benefit yourself and others with an alcohol-free lifestyle

Besides negatively affecting you and your body, alcohol affects everyone around you, too.

It can be a hazard to others around you, since you are more prone to cause accidents that could injure or even kill a person.

Higher health costs, higher taxes, and higher insurance rates are all negative effects, as well as lower productivity at work and in your personal life..
