Drugs and Health

Programme Outline

Using an asthmatic person as a case study, the programme offers a scientific look at drugs and how they can be both beneficial and detrimental to health. Inspecting a smoker’s lung and hearing the experiences of an emphysema sufferer reinforce the impact of the effects of smoking. A team of scientists investigates the effect of alcohol on judgement and reminds us why it’s important not to drink and drive.
