We put all kinds of junk in our system in form of drugs, alcohol and unhealthy food and live in air conditioning from house to car to office and back again. The general observations of lifestyle experts is that we are killing ourselves. And the lack of proper health facilities is not helping one bit. The habits often start from when we are young. Peer pressure and group activity makes us experiment with some of these social traps and sometimes we get hooked all way into adulthood.

Harder drugs such as street cocaine called crack are still being used as social drugs among classes of people who can afford the relatively expensive habit.

Basically the life styles to choose to relief stress and low feelings is to get entertained, exercise and to take holidays as frequently as possible. Sufferers from addiction to any of these drugs are advised to get counseling and clinical help before the habits get out of hand.
