Gateway drugs may be considered as windows to unprotected sex. These are drugs
“that people use initially that may eventually lead to the abuse of illegal drugs”. Alcohol and
tobacco are gateway drugs. When alcohol is consumed, the central nervous system is
affected. Thus, a person is more vulnerable to doing dangerous acts because of depressed
decision-making skills.
Alcohol is a psychoactive substance with dependence-producing properties that has
been widely used in many cultures for centuries. The harmful use of alcohol causes a
large disease, the social and economic burden in societies.
Types of Alcohol
1. Isopropyl - is known as rubbing alcohol and usually used in medicine.
2. Methanol - also known as methyl alcohol that can be converted into fuel.
3. Ethanol - is a clear, colorless liquid and the principle ingredient in alcoholic
beverages like beer, wine, or brandy
The harmful use of alcohol can also result in harm to other people such as family
members, friends, co-workers, and strangers. Moreover, the harmful use of alcohol results in
significant health, social, and economic burdens on society at large.

On the other hand, the government also provides protection from these gateway
drugs through the Comprehensive Dangerous Drugs.
Republic Act No. 9156 otherwise known as the “Comprehensive Dangerous Drugs
Act of 2002” protects citizens from the harmful effects of dangerous drugs to their physical
and mental well-being. According to the policy, here are some which are considered as
unlawful acts and are subjected to penalties and fines.

The tobacco epidemic is one of the biggest public health threats the world has ever
faced, killing more than 8 million people a year around the world. More than 7 million of
those deaths are the result of direct tobacco use while around 1.2 million are the result of
non-smokers being exposed to second-hand smoke.
All forms of tobacco are harmful, and there is no safe level of exposure to tobacco.
Cigarette smoking is the most common form of tobacco use worldwide. Other tobacco
products include water pipe tobacco, various smokeless tobacco products, cigars, cigarillos,
roll-your-own tobacco, pipe tobacco, bidis, and kreteks.

Republic Act No. 9211 or the Tobacco Regulation Act of 2003 protects people from
the sale, use, and advertisements of hazardous tobacco products.
In order to promote a healthful environment, the Act absolutely bans smoking in
public places, most especially in centers of youth activities, elevators, and stairwells, fire-
hazardous places, within public and private hospitals and medical clinics, airport and other
terminals, and food preparation areas. In this light, a designated smoking and non-smoking
area should be utilized.
The Act also restricts access to sell Tobacco products to minors. Tobacco may not
be put in the vending machine, unless it verifies age, and may not be sold within 100 meters
of a school. If tobacco is sold, there should be proper signage that indicates target
consumers.
When it comes to advertising and promotions, the Act provisions the printing of
warnings on cigarette packs in either Filipino or English. In addition, health warnings should
also be included.
Lastly, the government should provide programs and projects for those who shall be
affected by the passing of the Act. One example of which is the tobacco growers. The Act
provisions that establishment of a cooperative and assistance program for the said people.
