Smoking Stinks!

Today I saw that Mr. Ledesma was teaching TALES students about the dangers of smoking. I'm so glad he's doing that. Smoking stinks!

Check out this website at kidshealth.org

It says that smoking leads to:
- bad breath
- yellow teeth
- smelly clothes
- more colds and coughs
- difficulty keeping up with friends when playing sports
- empty wallet — cigarettes and tobacco products are very expensive!

It also can get you really sick and you could end up in the hospital for smoking. Cigarettes are made with poison so every time you smoke you get poison in your body.

If someone near you is smoking and you breathe in the smokey air, you are also breathing in bad stuff. Next time someone is smoking around you just kindly ask them to stop.

Say something like, Excuse me. Can you please not smoke around me? I'm just a kid and I don't want to get sick. Thank you.

You know who doesn't smoke? Mr. Apple!!!!!
