Number of myths and fallacies exist about health and disease in the Pakistani society. Just like any other developing society, food fallacies are prevalent too. For example, in the case of a child’s respiratory illness, rice and banana are forbidden as they are perceived to aggravate the condition. In patients with hepatitis, restricting the diet to boiled food and forbidding fish, meat and milk is common. The concept of ‘hot’ and ‘cold’ food is also known, e.g. eggs, fish and meat items are considered hot foods and rice, yogurt and oranges are cold ones. For pregnant women, uncooked liver of cow thought to counter anemia and eating a specific type of ‘clay’ would prevent morning sickness. More interesting myths pertain to fertility. A woman is considered to be complete only after having children—otherwise she will be stigmatized. Therefore ,out of social pressure or personal desire, women and families especially in rural areas, seek the treatment of infertility from traditional or religious healers (Bhatti et al.1999). A misconception widely known among women of reproductive age particularly in rural areas is that the oral contraceptive pills can be used as an abortifacient.

Teens may use a substance for many reasons. They may do it because:
They want to fit in with friends or certain groups.
They like the way it makes them feel.
They believe it makes them more grown up.
Teens tend to try new things and take risks, so they may take drugs or drink alcohol because it seems exciting.
Teens with family members who have problems with alcohol or other drugs are more likely to have serious substance use problems. Also, teens who feel that they are not connected to or valued by their parents are at greater risk. Teens with poor self-esteem or emotional or mental health problems, such as depression, also are at increased risk.
