If you smoke:
. If you haven't started smoking, don't. Some of your friends or other people at school may smoke themselves and encourage you or dare you to try it. Saying "NO" is sensilbe not cowardly.
. If you've already started smoking, try to give it up while you're young. The longer you smoke, the worse your chances are, and the more difficult it is to give up.
. If you have to smoke some form of tobacco, smoke a pipe, or cigar. Because you don't normally inhale pipe and cigar smoke, the risks of getting bronchitis or lung cancer are much lower than with cigarettes.
If you drink:
. Always set limits to the number of drinks - never be persuaded to exceed it.
. Try always to eat when drinking.
. Drink slowly; never gulp.
. Never drink while driving.
. Always respect alcoholic drinks - remember that in small amounts it can give pleasure; in excess it can cause trouble.
