I compliment your workbook, which is graphic and visual. It certainly would intimidate somebody against smoking. As a former schoolteacher, I wonder if young people are aware of the damage to health caused by smoking. They may not ever think they will get to 70 but Mr. Peelo this morning spoke of people he knew who felt like they had an elephant on their chest when they tried to breathe. Are young people aware of the profound effect that smoking could have on quality of life and future health? If not, how can we make them aware?
