ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
This is to acknowledge that this investigatory project would not
have been successful without the help of the source that are
mention below. I would also like to give thanks to our lab assistant
sushil sir who had always supported us. It was a great opportunity
making this investigatory project so at the onset a very great
thanks to our respected subject teacher Mrs navleen
chopra(ma’am) without her guidance this investigatory project
would not have been possible. Lastly I would like to thank our
parents who really helped us in each and every movement,

INTRODUCTION
Addiction is one of the biggest disease of the
world. More than millions of the individual are
struggling against addiction. It takes away the
happiness of the people by avoiding them to
get what they want and many of the people
were also not able to take correct decision.
According to the recent studies it has been
found that adolescent are more vulnerable to
addiction. Addiction is that type of diseases
whose rehabilitation is very difficult. As we know
prevention is better than cure so we can
prevent our self from getting addicted by not
living under peer pressure.
WHAT IS DRUG ADDICTION?
Addiction is the habitual, physiological, psychological
dependence on a substance or practice which is beyond
voluntary control. A person who is habituated to a
substance or a practice, especially a harmful one, is
called an addict. Addiction is a chronic, progressive and
sometimes fatal disorder with both genetic and
environmental roots. It manifests as a compulsion that
derives an individual to continue to behave in a way that
is harmful to self and loved ones, despite an intense desire
to halt that behaviour. It is a disease of “more”- an active This is true whether the
addict needs an increasing amount of substance to get addictive substance is a drug

addiction is of three types :
Tobacco Addiction, Alcohol
Addiction, Drug Addiction
TYPES OF DRUG ABUSE
Heroin Hallucinogens
Cocaine Cannabinoid
Crack Alcohol
Heroin
As a destructive opioid, heroin can lead to seizures, psychosis,
and hallucinations when it is abused.
The drug may lead to fatal strokes or heart attacks for some
users.
However, the brain changes during a substance-related disorder in ways that can take a long time
to bring back to a healthy state.
A person whose brain's reward circuitry has not altered as a result of addiction experiences positive
feelings in relation to generally rewarding behaviors, such as exercising, being with family, or
consuming delicious food. These should all make a person feel good

2. Stress and depression
3. Lack of education
4. Religious rituals
EFFECTS OF ADDICTION
• Fatigue - the patient is tired most of the time.
• Memory loss - especially the patient's short-term memory.
• Eye muscles - the eye muscles can become significantly
weaker.
• Liver diseases - the patient has a considerably higher chance
of developing hepatitis, and cirrhosis. Cirrhosis of the liver is an
irreversible and progressive condition
• Heart problems - regular heaving drinking can lead to
cardiomyopathy (damaged heart muscle), heart failure, and
stroke.
• Menstruation - alcoholism will usually stop menstruation or
disrupt it.
• Cancer - alcoholics have a much higher risk of developing
several cancers, including cancer of the mouth, oesophagus,
liver, colon, rectum, breast, prostate and pharynx.
• Suicide - suicide rates among people who are alcohol-
dependent or who abuse alcohol are much higher than among
other people.
EFFECTS ON LUNGS :
Recent advances in neuroscience may help improve policies to reduce the harm that the
use of tobacco , alcohol, and other psychoactive drugs act on society.
This report is concerned with the implications of drug use for workplace safety and
productivity. It examines the prevalence of alcohol and other drug use by the U.S. work
force, the impact of such use on job-related behavior, and the effectiveness of workplace
drug intervention programs.
This emphasis on workplace productivity rather than social consequences affects the
purpose, methods, and evaluation criteria used in this report, just as it often affects
researchers investigating these issues.
