DRUGS + YOUR BODY

In the article "DRUGS+YOUR BODY" by The Nation Institute on Drug Abuse talks about how people body is amazing organism and how your should take in the wrong subtances like using drugs because you can harm your health. The article also had example how differnt drugs harms your health in different ways.

For example the article had stated, "Your body also has a pretty awesome immuse system that can recognized and destory millions of biological invaders to protect your health. Another example that was stated from the text was, "As strong and resilient as our bodies are, alcohol, tabacco, and other drugs are incredibly powerful in their ability to create illness and disease." The last example that was mention in the text was, "Snorting cocaine can destroy cartilage in the nose, like the septum-the hard tissue that divides the nose into nostrils. This can lead to nose bleed and can decrease the ability to smell."

After reading this article I think that I'm going to take care of my body because first off drugs is an addiction and also because drugs are bad for your body. As I was reading I saw images of how your body is affected from drugs. I saw a image of a man skin that look like he had bugs under his skin and the spots was like a bloody red color and it was developing on his face and it loooked really nasty. I wouldn't want my face to look like that. I would also start encouraging other people to do not to do drugs because I would want them to damage their organs and also to have cancer or anything else thats bad to happen to them.

This article bring up bad memories for me because my grandmother on the mother side had died two years ago from lung cancer. She was a cigarette smoker. She was smoking cigarettes for years and years. Then the year she decided to quit for good she was diagnosed with lung cancer, she had a long and hard battle with it but she died a year after she had it. After her death it showed me that life is to short and also that drugs, and cigarettes isn't worth me dying from or from me have bad skin or breath. So thats why I wouldn't use drugs and I would try to encourge others to try to stay away from drugs.
