Dangers of legal drugs

Dear Editor, I have recently started learning more about drug abuse. And wanted to write a letter to the editor of The Barrhead Leader addressing such content. I would like it if more people were aware of the consequences of drug abuse.

Dear Editor,

I have recently started learning more about drug abuse. And wanted to write a letter to the editor of The Barrhead Leader addressing such content. I would like it if more people were aware of the consequences of drug abuse. Some drugs that are commonly abused are caffeine, laxatives, appetite suppressants and steroids. These can be very dangerous if not prescribed by a doctor. People can develop an addiction to these drugs and further more damage their body. Another common one, especially in western Canada, is tobacco. This damages the lungs, voice and kills the white blood cells which help prevent cancer cells from expanding and confirming cancer in the body. Even though there are signs posted saying what the product could potentially do, people do it anyway because they abused it once and got addicted. I write this letter to you because it is part of an assignment for a school subject. Thank you for taking the time to read this.
