1. Smoking and vapingAge 11-14 (UK Key Stage 3)
2. What is smoking?
3. CigarettesCigarettes contain dried leaves of the tobacco plantBurning tobacco makes smoke which is inhaledThe smoke also contains tar, carbon monoxide and other toxic chemicalsThe smokes contains nicotine, a very addictive drug
4. Why is smoking such a big problem?
5. Cause lung and heart disease, cancer, and many other health problemsLead to early deathSmoking can…
6. Be very addictive – once you start it is very hard to stopSmoking can… Make non-smokers ill if they are nearby and breath in the smoke
7. OSmoke contains TarCarbon monoxideOver 4000 other chemicalsCNicotine
8. How smoking affects the body
9. Watch a video on how smoking affects the body https://www.ted.com/talks/krishna_sudhir_how_do_cigarettes_affect_the_body?language=en Smoking affects every part of the bodyBrain: addiction, stroke, anxiety Eyes: blindness, cataracts Heart: heart disease, heart attack Genitals: infertility, pregnancy problemsLungs: cancer, COPD, bronchitis, pneumonia, emphysemaMouth: gum disease, bad breath, loss of taste/smellCancer anywhere in the body Blood: high blood pressure, poor circulation
10. How smoking affects the lungs
11. Watch an animation of how the lungs work https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f_xnopMf3p8 How the lungs work
12. How smoking affects the lungsSmokers’ LungsTar and smoke damages the ciliaMucus builds upThe airways narrowIt’s harder to breathCough more to clear mucusMore likely to get colds, flu and chest infectionsHealthy LungsGoblet cells make mucus which traps dirt and pathogensTiny hair-like cilia sweep mucus out of the lungsThe airways are open and relaxedMost viruses and bacteria are trapped and cleared so fewer infectionsWatch a demo using real lungs https://youtu.be/uirINayrSJs?si=GStZDfGqoOxQJEpA
13. Asthma and COPDAsthma and COPD are lung conditions that can make it hard to breatheAsthma is often inherited (genetic) but smoking makes it worseCOPD is almost always caused by smokingDo you or anyone you know have asthma or COPD?
14. Try breathing through a straw to see what it feels like to have COPDHealthy airways are relaxed and open so air can flow easilyWith COPD the airways get swollen, making it hard to breatheSmoking causes thisWhy COPD makes it hard to breathe
15. Lung CancerCancer is a disease where abnormal cells grow uncontrollablySmokers are 25 times more likely to get lung cancer than a non-smokerSmoking also increases the risk of developing many other kinds of cancer
16. The risks of smoking
17. Understanding riskRisk = how likely something is to happen x how bad it could beDying in a plane crashBeing in a car accidentRolling two sixesCatching a coldHow likely is an accident?Very unlikelyModerately likelyModerately likelyVery likelyIf it happened how bad would it probably be?Very seriousQuite seriousNot serious at allNot usually serious
18. Very unlikelyVery likelyNot seriousVery seriousDying in a plane crashVery seriousVery unlikelyBeing in a car crashQuite seriousModerately likelyCatching a coldNot usually seriousVery likelyRolling two 6 diceNot serious at allModerately likelyLow riskHigh risk
19. The risks of smokingLook at the health effect cards. Can you…?Sort the cards from most serious to least seriousSort the cards from most likely to least likelyCan you use your rankings to place the risks on the chart? (NB there is no definitive right or wrong answer)
20. Lower fitnessLung diseaseMore colds/fluGum diseaseCoughingBad breathHeart diseaseReduced sense of smellReduced sense of tasteBreathlessnessWrinkled skinCancerAbnormal spermStained teeth, hair and fingersShaky handsHarder to get pregnantHigh blood pressurePoor circulation and gangrene

22. Which health effects of smoking do you think are the worst?Which health effects would convince you to stop or not start?
23. Quitting quickly and dramatically reduces the health risks of smoking
24. What is passive smoking?
25. Passive smokingPassive smoking means accidentally breathing in smoke from someone else’s cigaretteIt can cause the same health effects as smoking. Children are particularly at risk.This is why smoking is banned in public places in many countries.
26. What regulations protect people from passive smoking in your country? What behaviours can reduce your exposure to passive smoke?
27. True or false?Smoking only affects the lungsFALSE!Smoking affects almost every part of the body, and more smokers die of heart disease than lung cancer.
28. True or false?More than half of smokers die will from smokingTRUE!Some studies have found up to two thirds of long-term smokers die of a smoking-related illness.
29. True or false?Nicotine is the most dangerous thing in cigarettesFALSE!Although nicotine is very addictive, the tar and carbon monoxide in smoke cause the most damage
30. True or false?Smoking or vaping can trigger asthma attacksTRUE!Asthma is mainly genetic, but smoking, passive smoking or vaping can trigger a life-threatening asthma attack
31. True or false?There’s no point in quitting as the damage is doneFALSE!Within just a few days the body can start to repair itself. Within a few years an ex-smoker will dramatically reduce their risk of illness.
32. True or false?Smokers die 5 years earlier than non-smokers FALSE!It’s even more! Typically, lifelong smokers die 10 years earlier than non-smokers.
33. True or false?Smoking in pregnancy harms the babyTRUE!Cigarettes reduce oxygen to the baby and there is a higher chance of the baby being premature or stillborn.
34. True or false?Vaping is safeFALSE!It’s probably less dangerous than smoking but can be just as addictive. There is increasing evidence it causes lung damage.
35. Smoking v Vaping
36. E-Cigarettes / VapesVapes contain a carrier liquid, nicotine and flavouringA battery heats the liquid to produce vapour which is inhaledThe hot vapour can irritate the lungsLike in cigarettes, nicotine is addictive
37. Why is vaping a problem?Vapes were invented to help people stop smokingVapes haven’t been around long enough for us to understand the long-term health effects People who were never smokers (especially young people) are starting to vapeYoung people are getting addicted to nicotine
38. Health effects of vapingAddictionAnxietyMemory problemsSleep problems Exposure to potentially harmful chemicalsLung damageChronic coughAsthma attacksPossible link to gum diseaseMore likely to start smoking due to nicotine addictionDon’t know what long-term effects might be
39. Why vaping is particularly risky for teensTeen lungs are still developing so are more easily damagedTeen brains are still developing so get addicted more easilyThe earlier you start and the longer you vape, the more likely it will lead to health problems Getting addicted to nicotine early can make smoking more likely later
