What: "Carbon monoxide is poisonous as it has a higher affinity to haemoglobin(the protein that makes your blood cells red),froming carboxyhaemoglobin.In essence,carbon monoxide is like a taxi passenger that refuses to get off at his destination as he doesn't have the fee.Therefore more passengers,a.k.a oxygen molecules,cant bind with haemoglobin,so we die of suffocation,which will feel like losing consciousness.Not very painful,but it is faster."

"Chronic dehydration is like putting that live lobster into a pot of cool water as it sits on the stove. If you then turn on the stove burner and slowly raise the water temperature to boiling, the lobster doesn't even realize it is being cooked.

"Peer pressure is like the air pressure in tires. Positive peer pressure pumps you up, supports you, helps you meet your goals, etc. Negative peer pressure takes
the air out of you, keeps you from going anywhere, causes accidents, jeopardizes your future, etc. Peer pressure can be a positive or a negative force in our lives-but it is our choice of peers that ultimately controls the kind of peer pres-
sure we are subjected to."
