What I learned in health class by doing a smoking poster was to encourage people to stop smoking and tell others not to start. When people start to smoke is because other people tell them to try , they think its cool, and stuff like that. Well it's not cool because you are wasting money by hurting you, and your lungs. Once you start it's hard to stop because of  a chemical nicotine. On my smoking poster I am trying to tell people that smoking is bad for you ,and to quit. When you smoke there are harmful side effects like: loss of hearing, getting tar buildup, breathing problems,and becoming blind. These are just some ways smoking can hurt you. STOP SMOKING NOW !!
