What You Don’t Know Can Hurt Your Children
When children get a little older and start going to school, they start being buried in half-truths and myths dressed up like fact. Those fictional truths can cover anything from the best Pop-Tart to eat for breakfast to how to get high by putting an aspirin in a coke. Remember that one?
During their early, development years, you can be sure that on some busy schoolyard or in a school bathroom, they will run into another student who will offer them a way to get high. Don’t make the mistake of believing that your youngsters are safe from drug offers until they are in high school and will know better than to accept the offer of drugs.

“Bath Salts,” “Spice” & “K-2” Are Killing Children
Before you throw out your favorite bath enhancement or cancel your subscription to the spa, read the following information provided by the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (www.dea.gov/).
In the last couple of years a new designer drug with a benign name, “bath salts,” has surfaced as an extremely dangerous stimulant that affects users like cocaine or meth do. State officials are beginning to report deaths directly related to its use. Recently, Poison Control Centers in 33 states have reported incidents related to “bath salts” use.

Can You Smoke Yourself Healthy?
Many smokers really wish they could quit that habit for several reasons. Some are having breathing problems and frequent bouts of pneumonia or bronchitis. Others are having problems with the no-smoking policies in most workplaces, restaurants and public buildings.
Whatever the reason, quite a few smokers are turning to the new electronic cigarette as a viable compromise and an alternative to quitting cold-turkey and suffering through that agonizing, but inevitable withdrawal.
Been there, done that several times myself.

Not Your Kid? Think Again!
Many parents think they know their kids. They are maintaining good grades in school, enjoying sports, making friends and fulfilling everything you ever wanted for them. They could also be using drugs and might be addicted.
Unless some real problem surfaces, like erratic behavior or a huge change in your teen’s personal hygiene, you might be willing to just believe that drugs are not a problem in your family. As a parent with a teenager acting like he or she have always behaved, it would be easy to believe everything is just fine in your family.

Three Dangerous Drug Myths
If you listen to your children, you will hear all sorts of fantasies and beliefs that have no relationship with reality. Many are based on a limited view of the real world or a result of wishing for a different reality. You know that’s a true statement. No? How about Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny? Didn’t you create that belief for your children while they were growing up?
Well, myths and legends are not strictly a product of juvenile minds. We all have them, but the one’s that endanger your children are something you shouldn’t ignore.

Teen Drug Use And The Effects On Their Brain!
It is a well-known fact that teens will experiment with almost anything that is different or exciting. Part of their growing up or rite of passage is to explore whatever is new and different and that is to be expected. However, when they experiment with drugs, they are playing with mental dynamite.
Drugs are chemicals and not some benign recreational delight that makes a teen feel like a grownup for a few hours. Those chemicals take up residence in your teenager’s brain and start redirecting the way nerve cells send, receive and process all information. The chemical structures of different drugs work differently, but they all start making changes in developing brains immediately.

The Marlboro Man and Me
I smoked for at least 40 years. I really enjoyed it and had no intention of ever quitting, even though I had frequent bouts with pneumonia and related problems. I loved my Marlboros and kept them close to me through every personal crisis that hit me… death of friends & family, loss of jobs, financial problems, dysfunctional relationships … normal things that usually happen to normal people.
