Did you know the average price for a pack of cigarettes in Massachusetts is 11.00? And that the average Massachusetts smoker will spend two million dollars on this deadly habit?
Grade six Health classes completed their tobacco education unit. Students watched Smoke Box and Mechanical Smoker demonstrations. The smoke box demonstration showed the effects of second hand smoke on a non-smoker. The mechanical smoker showed how much tar is deposited on the lungs after one cigarette is smoked.
Students were grossed out!
