Ogaanshaha quraafaadka iyo fahamka xaqiiqda, waxay kaa caawinkaraan in aad kala halashid dhaliyaradaada arimaha ku saaban buuriga, khamriga iyo qaadka.
Quuraafaad-cabista sigaarku way fiicantahay.
Xaqiiq-buurigu wuxuu keenee neef qadhmuun, ilko madoowbaad, neefta oo qofka dhibta, qufac, iyo dareenka oo isdhima. Markasta waxaa uu ka soo kankamaa dharkaaga iyo timahaaga. Sidaa oowgeed, sigaarku maaha jidka loo maro caafimaadka.
Quraafaad-sigaarku wuxuu kaa caawindoonaa in miisaanka jidhkaagu hoos u dhaco.
Xaqiiq-markii laysku soo duuduubo, dadka sigaarka caba wayka miisaan yaryihiin kuwa aan cabin. Balse sigaarku kama badelo wax muuqda miisaanka qofka jimicsada ayaa ka caafimaad badan.
Quraafaad-tubaakadu ma dhaawici karto dadka dhaliyarada ah iyo dadka caafimaadka qaba.
Xaqiiq-dhalinyarada waxaa laga yaabaa in ay ogyihiin in tubaakadu keeni karto jiro markii mudo dheer la cabo, sida sanbabada oo xirma ama kanser. Waxay kaloo u baahan yihiin in ay ogaadaan in tubaakadu dhinto shaqada sanbabada tasoo keenta in qofka sigaar yacabka ahi ku dhibaatoodo neefta markii uu damco in uu jimicsado ama cayaar ka qayb qaato. Ugu dabayntii, sigaarku waxaa ku jira curiyaasha qatarta ah sida Arsenic, Ammonia, iyo Formaldehyde oo caafimaadka aad ugu daran.
Quraafaad-Sigaar cabis iyo tubaako ruug waa balwado riqiis ah.
Xaqiiq-Sigaarku wuxuu ka biloowdaa $3.00 baakadhkiiba-ruuxa baakhad maalintiiba wuxuu ku qarash gareeyaa $1000 sanadkii in uu sigaar cabo. Taasi waxay gowsaa 75 CDs' oo cusub.
Khamrigu waa Qatar kale oo soo foodsaarta betqabka caruurta. Khamrigu waa doorka koowbaad ee dhaliyaradu isku maandooriyaan, laakiin waa qatar wayn. Tusaale ahaan, dhalinyarada khamriga cabta waxaa dhacda in ay galaan shil baabuur, dagaal, galmo aan loo diyaar garoowbin, ama in ay iskuulka ka saaqidaan. Dadka dhalinyarada ahi waxay si joogta ah uga helaan fariimo is dhaafsan warbaahinta, dadka waawayn iyo bulshada guud. Waalidka is bedel wayn ayay keenaan, waxaana la ogsoonyahay in ay yihiin sababta koobaad ee dhalinyaradu u go'aansadaan khamri cabista. Kala sheekayso caruurtaada khamriga, dhagayso waxay ka aaminsanyahiin. La wadaag arimahan hoos ku xusun.
Khamriga wuxuu dhaawici karaa xubin walba oo jidhka ka mid ah waxay kale oo uu qaribaa maskaxda iyo qofka in uu is celiyo.
Sharciga ayay ka soo horjeedaa in ruux ka yar 21 sano khamri cabo amaba helo .
Dadka kayar 21 ee hadana khamriga caba waxaa la ganaaxaai karii lagac gaaraysa $1,000 .
Gobolka Minnesota, waa dambi wayn in khamri la siiyo ruux amaba laga iibiyo qof ka yar 21. Ruuxa qaangaarka ahi ee khamriga siiya ama u iibiya ruux ka yar 21 sano, waxaa lagu xukumi karaa halsono oo xabsi ah iyo $3,000 oo ganaax ah. Qofka qaangaar ah waxaa kaloo lagu xukumi karaa qaandhow dhaawaca iyo qaasaraha ka yimaada hadii qofka dhalinyarada ahi shil keeno markii uu khamri cabay. Ugu dambayntii, midda ugu muhiimsani waa xasuusi dhalinyarada in khamrigu xaaran ku yahay diinta Islaamka, adiguna aadan u ogolaan karin khamri.
Qaadkuna waa maandooriye kale oo dhibaato keeni kara caafimaadka dhalinyarada. Dad badan ayaa waxay aaminsanyihiin in ay caadi tahay in wiilasha dhalinyarada ahi qaadka raamsadaan. Laakiin halkaan, America, sharciga ayey ka soo horjeedaa. Dadka lagu qabto xabsi ayaa loo taxaabi karaa. Caafimaadkoodana waa uu daran ayay. Wuxuu ku dhaliyaa kuwa isticmaalain ay hantidooda u janjeedhiyaan qaad cunis, sidaasna ay ku hilmaamaan qowskooda. Kuwa soo socda waxay ka midyihiin warbixino muhiim ah oo aad la wadaagi kartid dhalinyaradaada oo qaaku keeno.

A lot of false messages have developed about smoking. Knowing the myths and understanding the facts will help you talk with your teen about "lighting up" and khat.
Myth - Smoking is cool
Fact - Tobacco can cause bad breath, stained teeth, wheezing, coughing, phlegm, and makes your hair and clothes smell bad. Smoking is not the road to popularity. The idea that "everybody's doing it" just doesn't apply to tobacco use. A nationwide survey in 2008 revealed that only 6.8% of 8th graders and 20.4% of 12th graders had smoked a cigarette in the past 30 days. The rates are even lower for smokeless tobacco. In addition, approximately three-quarters of 12th graders “mostly agree” or “agree” that smoking is a dirty habit and that they would prefer to date people who don’t smoke.
Myth - Smoking will help with weight loss
Fact - Smoking is not likely to cause visible changes in weight. Exercise is a healthier and longer lasting approach to weight loss. Moreover, the health benefits of not smoking or quitting far outweigh the problems of gaining weight.
Myth Tobacco can't hurt young and healthy people.
Fact – Although teenagers probably know that using tobacco can cause long-term illness like emphysema or cancer, they are probably unconcerned because the consequences seem so far into the future. In the short term, smoking reduces the lung's ability to function, making breathing really tough during exercise and athletics. Cigarettes also contain arsenic, ammonia, and formaldehyde - not very healthy!
Myth - Smoking and chewing are cheap habits
Fact - At an average of $4.50-$5.00 per pack, a person who smokes a pack a day spends over $31.50 per week or $1,638 per year on cigarettes. A 15-year-old who quits smoking and puts the money into savings would have nearly $250,000 by age 45.
Myth - Quitting is easy
Fact – The majority of adult smokers become addicted to tobacco as teenagers. And unfortunately, most people who try to quit are not successful. It can take 8 to 10 tries to be successful. Many people need help quitting. Visit www.smokefree.gov for more information.
Share a few of the above facts with the young people you care about. Also, listen to their comments to help them make wise decisions. If you belong to a culture where tobacco is sacred and reserved for special occasions (like some American Indian cultures), discuss its honored role and the need to respect rather than abuse it. By choosing smoke-free environments, parents not only protect their family from the hazardous dangers of second-hand smoke but also send an important message about their family values.

A harmful narcotic is Khat(Qat). Many people believed it was ok to chew Khat for young men in Somalia. However, it is against the law in America. People caught chewing Khat can be sent to jail. Following are facts to discuss with your teens. Chewing khat may create a feeling of ecstasy, along with increased alertness. However, it also increases one’s heart rate and blood pressure. After chewing khat, users may become depressed or irritable, have a loss of appetite or difficulty sleeping. Long-term khat use has been found to cause tooth decay, ulcers, irregular heartbeat, and may worsen other mental disorders. It causes users to constantly divert income into Khat chewing, and ignore families' needs.
