The nicotine in tobacco is a stimulant and will increase heart rate, cause breathing to be rapid, and lower appetite. It is also highly addictive and makes users smoke whenever the body is low on nicotine.
Alcohol is a depressant and will cause the body to lower its heart rate, impair coordination, and lower reaction time. Long term consumption of alcohol will cause severe damage to the liver.
Ecstasy/Molly is a hallucinogenic drug that causes visual hallucinations, dehydration, and nausea. Long term usage may lead to brain damage and increase chance for an overdose.
