3.4.2 test (cst): drugs
question 13 of 20
copd, pancreatic cancer, wrinkles, and leukemia are all possible effects of
which drug?
a. alcohol
b. tobacco
c. marijuana
d. antibiotics

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze the effects of each drug:

• Alcohol: Primarily affects liver, brain, etc., not typically linked to all these (COPD, pancreatic cancer, wrinkles, leukemia).
• Tobacco: Smoking (tobacco use) is associated with COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease), pancreatic cancer, skin aging (wrinkles), and certain leukemias due to carcinogens.
• Marijuana: Effects are more on cognitive/psychoactive, not these specific health issues.
• Antibiotics: Used to fight infections, not causing these diseases.

So the drug with these effects is tobacco.

Answer:

B. Tobacco
