We can meet friends there and spend time with them whilst also having good accessibility to alcohol. -The NHS suggests there are 3 main ways we can reduce alcohol consumption. Plan , set a budget, let them know. This strategy allows us to reduce alcohol consumption by making a clear plan for our nights, how much we are going to drink etc. Then we set a budget, so we only take so much money so we can only drink so much. Lastly, we alert our friends of our plan and how we are trying to cut down on drinking so that they can help us and keep an eye on us. Overtime hopefully we bring drinking to a zero or reach a goal of only drinking a desired amount. danarnell88 https://padlet.com/danarnell88/4ptgunze1fgnsg38/wish/2320987927

E cigarettes are a good substitute however they still have their negatives. -E-cigarettes can be used to wean smokers off cigarettes slowly by using a less risky alternative. However, the smokers must make sure they do not stay vaping and continue in their efforts to completely stop.

Good ways to stop smoking are using nicotine patches or gum as you still get sall amounts of nicotinebut you don't get all the harmful chemicals of a cigarette. This stops nicotine withdrawals and helps you stop smoking all together. danarnell88 https://padlet.com/danarnell88/4ptgunze1fgnsg38/wish/2320991264 Tobacco smoke is estimated to be responsible for nearly one fifth (64,500) of all new cancer cases a year.

If somebody is struggling with depression, they may neglect self-care and not look after themself appropriately because they are struggling to cope or function daily. Overall mental health has a significant impact on physical health. -Socio economics plays a huge part in mental wellbeing as some people are less fortunate financially and therefore miss opportunities. These opportunities could be, for example a sports event like a game of football. All their friends could be playing but they cannot because they cannot afford to [pay for the kit or not afford the training because they are from a less fortunate background. Seclusion has a massive impact on people's mental health and makes them feel like an outsider. danarnell88 https://padlet.com/danarnell88/4ptgunze1fgnsg38/wish/2320993479
