Summary/Abstract: Acute poisoning (intoxication) is a state caused by a poisonous substance. This substance enters into the body and can cause organ damage or the death of an individual. Negative effects of smoking, alcohol, drugs and pharmaceutics on the human body should be a challenge for rigorous enforcement of prevention activities across the community. The most important is to avoid the health threat of the most risky groups of children and young people.
