Studies show that users and abusers of amphetamines face more than three times the risk of receiving a tear in the Aorta, which is one of the major arteries that carry blood out of the heart. Many Physicians say that such a tear in the aorta can lead to extremely permanent affects, along with the emergency having catastrophic potential. The tear of your aorta not only brings pain in the lower stomach area, but it also brings excruciating pain in the chest area for long periods of time. Patients that have suffered from such abuse have said that they have felt as if “ they wanted to die” .

    The reason that this is important to biology and science, is due to the fact that scientists and researchers try their best to help the public, by fighting against substance abuse. They do this by telling the public the ingredients that are inside of the products that they could be inhaling into their bodies; along with other methods such as PSA’s which are used with children, that take facts from scientists and researchers to try to help teens and older adults from getting hooked on substance abuse.

    The reason that we care about this, is mainly because everyone cares about their loved ones and their family members. Most teens do drugs in order to gain a higher social status within their social group. Teens will think twice about getting high when they realize that they can receive severe a chest pain for the rest of their life due to smoking. That does not sound appealing, and this is why we care, because we want to keep our loved ones safe, healthy, and happy.
