Tobacco, Alcohol, and Other Drugs describes the direct effects of substance abuse on physical, mental, emotional, and social health. It features skill-building activities that give students the motivation and techniques for implementing a drug-free lifestyle. Lessons provide information on how the law applies to teens, how harmful substances affect the growing body, and how to recognize and avoid a wide range of specific illegal substances. Refusal skills, communication techniques, and responsible behavior come alive in activities, role-playing scenarios, and interviews with experts.
