Most adults will carry alcohol and cigarettes to drugs. Most teens - no.
As you know, teenagers are constantly flow into thediskong-ruentnost * with the old Merriam-Webster **. And you must have noticed how different the language of your teens. Sometimes we use different words to mean the same thing. (You say »make up», we say »nashpaklevatsya», you say »good», we say »cool.») But when it comes to alcohol and cigarettes, the opposite happens: we use the same words, but with different values . So when you hear »alcohol», you think about the drug. When we hear »alcohol», we do not see anything dangerous here. The same applies to cigarettes.
According to the dictionary of drug called»Substance, often illegal, addictive and dependency or noticeable changes in consciousness.» Then, cigarettes and alcohol would be worth taking for drugs. Right?

Well, for teens have their owndetermination. We think about the social aspect of the matter, not its medical consequences. Not that it is and how it affects you, and most people use it. Dope always implies something rejected by society, so alcohol and cigarettes are not drugs - they are accepted by society. Nobody admits to drug use: drug users - is evil! This is all well known. But drink and smoke, then there is nothing wrong with that. Alcohol and cigarettes are not drugs. And of the children, with whom I met, I learned that many parents also agree with this.
My mother can not be called stupid. She knows that teens drink and smoke. And she knows that I'm doing it, too. Not to mention that she likes it, but she also does not try to stop me.

I am a graduate in high school, however,naturally, sometimes I smoke and drink. My father was pretty strict about this, and for me there is a rule - I can not drink and drive. Sometimes, when in my house passes a small party, the father allows us to fifty grams and takes away all the keys of the vehicles; he realizes that it is not too large dose for us.

Many parents seem to put up with the states,caused by tobacco and alcohol. If you think, you will realize that although most parents do not want to see smoking and drinking their children, they do not include cigarettes and alcohol to drugs. Many children, with whom I spoke, parents pass through the wall if the suspect drug use in children. But they at least agree that smoking and alcohol consumption, in general, normal things in adolescence. I think it's because parents know enough about alcohol and nicotine and may have indulged themselves in their teenage years.
Я не доказываю, что большинство родителей разрешают или им следовало бы разрешать детям употреблять эти вещи, я просто говорю, что основная часть подростков заявляет, что родители знают об их намерении попробовать спиртное и табак. (Это сильно отличается от отношений родителей к тому, что дети употребляют наркотики.) И знаете, они правы. По данным Центров контроля за болезнями и их профилактики, Центра исследования рискованных поступков среди молодежи и Американского онкологического общества, семь из десяти подростков пробуют курить, а восемь из десяти пробовали алкоголь. Так что, как бы вы ни старались отговорить собственного ребенка от алкоголя и табака, целый мир делает обратное. Каждый раз, включая телевизор или бросая взгляд на бильярдный стол, вы обязательно увидите хотя бы одну роскошную, едва одетую женщину, потягивающую пиво прекрасными чувственными губами. Разве это не соблазнительно? Более того, мы встречаем курящих и выпивающих людей каждый день и часто оказываемся в ситуации, когда и сами в состоянии сделать то же самое. А так как вы не можете:
a) to remove all the billiard tables with seductive beauties sipping beer,
b) return the »dry law»
c) make the movie stars smoke during hot summer about the parades,
g) to implant the camera on the forehead of their own child,
to always be aware of his affairs, you just have to find better ways to talk to him and help make the right decision independently.
