Document Summary
Many of these behaviours share a window of vulnerability in adolescence: smoking: drinking to excess, using illicit drugs, having unsafe sex, using risk-taking behaviours. -- more behavior comes from unhealthy this are more individuals from diverse backgrounds. Physical dependence: body adjusts to substance and incorporates its use into normal functioning of the body"s tissues. Adolescence sees smoking as cool and rebellious thing to do, peer pressure as a whole . All substances have the same physiological alignment. This occurs when the body has developed a preference for having the substance. Problematic for heroin addiction, excruciating pain is associated with this. Larger doses needed to produce same effects. Tolerance: you tend to need more of the same or similar substance in order to function. It tries to limit the effect it has on the body s next time you need more of it . people who smoke and drink do so overtime.
