Man has always remained susceptible to temptations. In childhood and adolescence, on the way to becoming a he althy, full-fledged personality, each of us, to a greater or lesser extent, encounters bad habits. Drinking alcohol, smoking packs of cigarettes, and even trying drugs, teenagers are not fully aware of the likely consequences of "imitating" adults.
Drugs are Russia's trouble
As one of the most acute problems of Russian society, the illegal sale of drugs poses a threat to the country's population, especially to its younger age group. Criminal proceedings for the sale, storage and distribution of synthetic drugs in different parts of the country are huge. Moreover, every year the situation is aggravated by the emergence of new dangerous substances.
Several years ago, the so-called spice appeared on the territory of the post-Soviet countries - smoking mixtures. Signs of their usebe sure to know. This will help parents in a timely manner to prevent multiple negative consequences in children who have succumbed to weakness. Such mixtures are made up of natural herbs and synthetic fibers.
Why is spice dangerous?
To say that spices have a negative impact on human he alth is not enough. Smoking such mixtures destroys brain cells, affecting the psycho-emotional state of the user. Their impact on the body can be safely equated with the use of potent drugs (heroin, cocaine, amphetamine, etc.). In addition to the clinical "side effects" of smoking spices in the form of nausea, vomiting, dizziness, their lovers often suffer from hallucinations, feelings of anxiety and panic fear. Often, the addiction leads smokers to a psychiatric hospital.
In addition, it is impossible not to mention the damage to the liver, lungs, kidneys and other organs that occurs even after a short or irregular use of drugs such as the spice smoking mixture. Signs of use (a photo of patients with addiction will clearly help to recognize them in an adult or a child) is quite difficult to confuse with the use of something else.
Mental instability as a sign of spice use
There are several symptoms that should always serve as wake-up calls for family members. Spice smoking mixtures, the signs of use of which are described below, can cause irreparable harm to a growingbody.
Resolute action must be taken if the child often has sudden unreasonable mood swings. The absence of real reasons for this, not related to any circumstances, situations, is the first symptom that a teenager has tried spice. Smoking mixtures (signs of use should be known to every parent who is worried about their child) affect the psycho-emotional background changeably, resembling peculiar “waves” of mood. At the same time, they are capable of varying within extreme limits in a fairly short period of time: unbridled fun and joy are instantly replaced by apathy and a depressive outlook on life. Such cyclicality has nothing to do with current events or related news.
Wakes at night and sleeps during the day
Violations of biological rhythms in a child who liked spice also become noticeable to the naked eye for parents. Smoking mixtures, the signs of the use of which are clearly evident, affect the shift in the phase of wakefulness and sleep. For example, during the whole day a teenager was lethargic, sleepy, unhurried, and in the evening, after a walk or meeting with friends, he became energetic and active. Such a child can sit all night in front of a TV or computer, listening to music or watching movies.
The next day, the inhibition of action returns, and there is a complete lack of desirewakefulness.
Hunger attacks are evidence of the use of spice
The first signs (the use of spice becomes noticeable in stages, and it is unlikely that it will be possible to immediately detect all the manifestations) include in their list such a symptom as a failure in the eating pattern. Changes in appetite become noticeable immediately. As a rule, the child becomes hungry in the late afternoon. But during the day, the desire to eat at least something is completely absent from him. Parents should be surprised that after meetings with mates, the largest adult portion of food may not seem enough for a child.
You should also stop in the manner of eating food. Often it is she who attracts the eyes of shocked family members: the child seems to have not eaten anything for a whole week, he greedily grabs and bites off each huge piece.
What can happen to spice smokers?
By the way, these signs of spice use by teenagers are also characteristic of people using other drugs. For example, smoking marijuana or being in a state of withdrawal from intoxication, a person feels almost the same. Basically, only addicted to the so-called mixes, the teenager tries to return home only after sobering up.
It's important to understand how poisonous spice blends are. Signs of use, consequences for children should be known to all parents. Complex synthetic compounds present in smoking formulations have a devastating effect on the he alth of the child,sometimes without even leaving a chance for rehabilitation and restoration of organs and systems affected by toxins.
Negative consequences after using smoking mixtures
The harm from smoking mixes for children is as follows:
- There is a destruction of brain cells, as a result of which its functions may be partially or completely lost. This is due, first of all, to the resulting hypoxia of the brain during the use of the substance. It is the result of the protective function of the vessels, trying not to let in harmful microcomponents. The result of oxygen starvation is the death of neurons.
- Slows down the process of puberty in boys who buy spice. Smoking mixtures, the signs of the use of which, if recognized in time, will become a saving signal for the start of treatment, discourage the interest of young men in the opposite sex.
- For girls, the consequences are no less deplorable: when using smoking mixtures at an early age, girls may not have periods at all. Perhaps the development of infertility, menstrual failure, the complete disappearance of the reproductive function.
The most common he alth problems after Spice
Cardiovascular disease can occur not only after prolonged use. First, the heart rate shifts, arrhythmia appears, tachycardia becomes almost constant, and blood pressure rises. The risk of cerebrovascular accident (stroke) is high. It is characteristic, as a rule, of elderly people, but spice is capable ofaccelerate the onset of this disease. Multiple inflammatory processes in the liver, lungs, the development of oncological processes - all this, unfortunately, often occurs, leaving an indelible mark on the he alth of a smoker.
Short-term memory loss, which becomes more frequent over time, can also be called a side effect of drug use. In addition, smokers are not only a danger to themselves: their behavior can become a real threat to others. Mental disorders are fairly common with regular spice use.
