The danger of smoking 
Cigarettes contain more than 4,000 chemical compounds and 400 toxic chemicals that 
include tar, carbon monoxide, DDT, arsenic and formaldehyde. The nicotine in cigarettes, in 
particular, makes them highly addictive. There are so many diseases caused by smoking that it‘s 
hard to decide where to begin. 
Any amount and type of smoking is bad for your health. Besides being a notorious risk 
factor for lung cancer, coronary artery disease, heart attack and stroke, smoking can damage 
almost any organ in our body, leading to leukaemia and cancers of the kidney, pancreas, bladder, 
throat, mouth and uterus. It can damage the airways and air sacs of our lungs to cause chronic 
bronchitis and breathing difficulties. It can also raise our blood pressure and cholesterol levels, 
reduce bone density in women and increase the risk of infertility, preterm delivery, stillbirth and 
sudden infant death syndrome. 
The danger of heavy drinking: How much alcohol is too much? 
Most people like to have a drink or two, be it beer, wine or spirits. Light drinking is 
acceptable and may even be beneficial for the heart. Heavy and binge drinking, on the other 
hand, can lead to serious medical problems. 
Drinking 7 or more drinks per week is considered excessive drinking for women, while 
15 drinks or more per week is deemed to be excessive for men. 
A healthy limit for drinking is usually no more than 2 drinks (3 units of alcohol) a day for 
men and 1 drink (2 units) a day for women. Binge drinking means having 5 or more drinks for 
men and 4 or more drinks for women on one occasion. 
Certain groups of people should not drink alcohol at all. These include young people under the 
age of 18, pregnant women, people with certain health conditions, patients on medication that

will interact with alcohol, recovering alcoholics, and people who intend to drive or do activities 
that require attention and coordination. 
Heavy drinking can lead to many serious health conditions. Binge drinking can cause immediate 
problems such as acute intoxication, nausea and vomiting, blurred vision, impaired judgment and 
alcohol poisoning. 
In the long term, heavy alcohol consumption can cause high blood pressure, gastric problems, 
liver cirrhosis, liver cancer, pancreatitis, memory impairment, alcohol dependence and various 
psychological conditions. Excessive alcohol drinking can also result in accidental injuries and 
even death. Pregnant women who drink heavily can harm their babies.
