Smoking Sucks!

Today, as part of our DARE programme we looked at the thousands of chemicals contained in a cigarette.


Snr Constable Blue showed us how a bottle could smoke a cigarette.

The bottle had a small hole in its lid through which went a tube. At one end of the tube was a cigarette and at the other end inside the bottle was a cotton ball. After the cigarette was lit Blue squeezed the bottle repeatedly to show the action of lungs inhaling and exhaling the smoke from a cigarette.  Blue then showed us the amount of tar collected on the cotton ball. There was a huge amount and that was after only one cigarette!
