Primary 7s enjoyed their first session today with Michelle from the West Lothian Drug and Alcohol Service.
Together, we created Ciggy Simon to record the impact tobacco can have on a person.
Michelle recommended websites for us to look at:
www.bbc.co.uk What’s in a cigarette?
Our Homework is to give something up for a week and replace it with a healthy alternative. We will record our progress daily and discuss this next time.
We discussed the chemicals in cigarettes – we learned that tar is in cigarettes and it is also found on road surfaces. It kills cilia, the small hairs that protect the lungs. It causes breathing problems and stains fingers and teeth. We also learned that it’s in a cigarette because tar is created when you burn two or more chemicals together.
Michelle will be with us again next week and we have more questions for her. We look forward to seeing her.
