The Stigma of Addiction in Indian Society: Changing Perceptions

By -
Image
  Stigma surrounding addiction is a pervasive issue in Indian society, hindering efforts to address and combat substance abuse effectively. Understanding the nature of this stigma and its consequences is essential in promoting more compassionate and effective approaches to addiction. The stigma associated with addiction in India is deeply rooted in cultural and societal beliefs. Addiction is often perceived as a moral failing or a lack of willpower rather than a complex medical condition. Individuals struggling with addiction are frequently met with judgment, shame, and discrimination, which can exacerbate their isolation and reluctance to seek help. One significant consequence of addiction stigma is the reluctance of affected individuals to seek treatment. The fear of being labeled as an "addict" or "junkie" prevents many from acknowledging their problem and reaching out for support. This delay in seeking help can result in the progression of addiction and the wor...

The impact of substance abuse on families and communities is a complex and deeply concerning issue that warrants attention and action.

Family members may also suffer from anxiety, depression, and feelings of helplessness as they witness their loved ones' struggles. The financial toll of substance abuse can be severe for families.

  Substance abuse remains a pervasive issue in India, with profound social, economic, and health consequences. Recognizing the gravity of this problem, the Indian government has implemented various initiatives and policies aimed at combating substance abuse and its detrimental effects on society. One of the key government initiatives in India is the National Action Plan for Drug Demand Reduction (NAPDDR).

This act provides the legal framework for regulating and controlling operations relating to these substances, including production, manufacture, possession...

How do electric cars work?

By -
Image
  How does the electric car engine work? Electric cars function by plugging into a charge point and taking electricity from the grid. They store the electricity in rechargeable batteries that power an electric motor, which turns the wheels. Electric cars accelerate faster than vehicles with traditional fuel engines – so they feel lighter to drive. How does charging work? You can charge an electric vehicle by plugging it into a public charging station or into a  home charger . There are plenty of  charging stations around the UK  to stay fully charged while you're out and about. But to get the best deal for home charging, it's important to get the right  EV electricity tariff , so you can spend less money charging and save more on your bill.   EVs and their range How far you can travel on a full charge depends on the vehicle. Each model has a different range, battery size and efficiency. The perfect electric car for you will be the one you can...

WHAT IS AN EV (ELECTRIC VEHICLE)?

By -
  An EV is a shortened acronym for an electric vehicle. EVs are vehicles that are either partially or fully powered on electric power. Electric vehicles have low running costs as they have less moving parts for maintaining and also very environmentally friendly as they use little or no fossil fuels (petrol or diesel). While some EVs used lead acid or nickel metal hydride batteries, the standard for modern battery electric vehicles is now considered to be lithium ion batteries as they have a greater longevity and are excellent at retaining energy, with a self discharge rate of just 5% per month. Despite this improved efficiency, there are still challenges with these batteries as they can experience thermal runaway, which have, for example, caused fires or explosions in the Tesla model S, although efforts have been made to improve the safety of these batteries.It can cost as little as £7.80 to fully charge an electric car from home and can even be free in public car parks.. BEVs can ...

Electric Vehicle Windfall Still in Big Spending Bill

By -
Image
  Congress’   big spending bill , now called the Build Back Better Act, is evolving from truly terrible to somewhat less terrible. On energy, the highly punitive sticks like the Clean Energy Performance Program (CEPP) have mostly been dropped, but a half a trillion dollars’ worth of carrots remain, and those are bad enough. Under these provisions, all taxpayers will have to subsidize wealth transfers to individuals and businesses who buy and use politically favored energy sources and products, most of which were chosen to pursue a climate agenda. Perhaps worst of all are the incentives applicable to electric vehicles (EVs). The biggest change is that the already generous tax credit of up to $7,500 for the purchase of an electric vehicle will increase to as much as $12,500. However, the extra $5,000 has some new and controversial strings attached. Starting in 2027, it only applies to vehicles made with unionized labor in the United States. This, of course, greatly favors the bi...

Electric Cars Vs Petrol Cars: How Much Can You Save?

By -
Image
  Resale Price Of Conventional Cars Will Plummet If you buy a conventional car instead, not only will you miss out on these savings, I’m certain your vehicle’s value will soon plummet as EVs destroy demand for internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles. Second-hand cars currently command high prices thanks to the pandemic, but the next few months may be your last chance to unload a petrol or diesel-powered car at a good price.  We’ve seen Tesla electric cars drive down the resale value of luxury cars they were competing with over the past few years.  Now the Tesla Model 3 has  fallen in price  and more  affordable  electric cars are becoming available, we’ll see the same happen with mid-range and lower cost conventional cars.   Australians already recognize the advantages of EVs.  This  CarsGuide article  says the Tesla Model 3 may outsell Toyota Camry this year.  I’m tempted to buy a Tesla Model 3 myself.  The only th...
