the next 20 years
Your life expectancy is about 8-12 years less than a non-smoker
About 106,000 people in the UK die each year due to smoking
It is never too late to stop smoking to greatly benefit your health. For
example, if you stop smoking in middle age, before having cancer or some
other serious disease, you avoid most of the increased risk of death due to
smoking
Cigarette smoke contains 60 substances that are known to cause cancer.
You could be killing others. About 2,700 people aged 20-64 and a further
8,000 deaths a year among people aged 65 years or older die from second
hand smoke

ALCOHOL
All about ABV
ABV stands for alcohol by volume.
It's used to measure the strength of alcohol in your tipple.
To work out the units of alcohol for yourself, you need to know the ABV and size in ml of your
drink.
Multiply the ml of drink by the ABV, and then divide by 1000. Below are examples.
One pint (568ml) lager 5% ABV
568 x 5= 2840
2840 ÷ 1000= 2.8 units.
Standard glass (175ml) white wine 13% ABV
175 x 13= 2275
2275 ÷ 1000= 2.3 units.
In the average adult, the rate of metabolism is about 8.5 g of alcohol per hour (i.e. about twothirds of a regular beer or about 30 mL of spirits an hour). This rate can vary dramatically
among individuals, however, depending on such diverse factors as usual amount of drinking,
physique, sex, liver size, and genetic factors.

How long does alcohol stay in your system
We’ve all heard people claim that they “Sober up” very quickly, just as we’ve seen people who
appear to stay drunk well into the night despite having only a few drinks.
But both of these are actually provably false. Alcohol is one of the most predictable chemical
reactions for your body. It burns off at an almost perfectly precise rate of .016 BAC per hour,
about equal to 1 standard drink each hour (depending on your weight). This rate is true
regardless of the size of your body. A 5’2 female burns off alcohol at the same rate as a 6’1 obese
male.
The differences, however, are in the rate with which your BAC rises. One drink in a small female of
low weight constitutes a much larger percent of her BAC. It may take a male 5 drinks or more in
an hour to reach a BAC of .08, while it may take a small female only 2 or three drinks.
Also, it tends to take longer for individuals with a lot of fat to absorb the alcohol. In other words, if
two people of different fat levels but of equal weight drink the exact same amount of alcohol,
the one with less fat will absorb the alcohol faster, causing them to feel it quicker. The one with
more fat will absorb it slower, all the while the alcohol they are absorbing is still metabolizing at
the same rate, so they will not experience as much of a sensation.
But regardless of size or gender, the .016 metabolic rate is a constant. So if you are trying to remove
all the alcohol from your system, refer to this chart to understand the length of time it will take
for your body to get rid of all of the alcohol in your system:
You will also notice on this table that if you are at a BAC of .24 (which is very drunk – you will likely
be stumbling and risk blacking out) you will still have alcohol in your body the next day, and you
will still be legally drunk for 10 more hours. Despite what many people believe, there is no way
to speed up this process. Coffee may make you more alert, but it will not get rid of the alcohol
that is still in your body.

Ecstasy
This is often called the original designer drug
because of its synonymous relationship with
rave culture in the early 90s. Clubbers took
ecstasy to stay awake and dance for hours. The
effects take about half an hour to kick in and
tend to last between 3 to 6 hours, followed by
a gradual comedown.
Slang: Street names for drugs can vary around
the country. E, pills, brownies, Mitsubishi's,
Rolex's, Dolphins, XTC.
