On Monday Jill Hood came in to tell us the effects of smoking. She gave us leaflets about some of the chemicals in cigarettes. she told us that methanol, one of the chemicals in cigarettes can cause blindness and death. She also told us that the average smokers get a lager jarful of tar in there lungs every year. She had brought in a set of pigs lungs to show us how they work. She had forgotten the pump that makes them expand so we got her anti-septic wipes so that she could blow into them and she blew lungs and they expanded and when she didn’t they went in again. The black lung was the smokers lungs. By Shona H
