Smoking

Today we had a visit from Jill Hood, Health Improvement Officer. We learned about the dangers of smoking.

We got to have a look at some of the chemicals in cigarettes. These include

  • tar – which you find on the road
  • nicotine – which is addictive
  • butane – which is found in lighter fluid
  • ammonia – which is found in toilet cleaner
  • lead – which is found in roof tiles

as well as many more dangerous chemicals.

We also got to see a healthy lung and that of a smoker — the difference was huge!!!
