UNDERSTANDINGS The longer a person smokes or is around someone who smokes, the greater their chances of developing a smoking related illness such as heart attack, stroke, cancer, of the lungs or mouth or throat and respiratory diseases such as emphysema and chronic bronchitis. 90% of smokers start before age 18.

Stage 3 – Learning Plan | ||
Summary Learning Events and Instruction: Day 1-2: “It’s good to be a quitter” Bell Ringer: Read 3 Short Articles about Tobacco.
Open discussion in class (Name some long- and short term effects of smoking? / Why does smoking shorten your life? And Why? / Why is smoking so hard to quit?)/ Activity: Pair up in groups of two. And view the “Tips From Former Smokers” videos at http://www.cdc.gov/tobacco/campaign/tips/resources/videos to help guide their production.] We’re going to take a successful strategy used by health experts at the U.S. CDC to create our own public service announcement videos to get people, especially students, to quit, or not even start, using tobacco. The “Tips From Former Smokers” ad campaign by the CDC has helped many smokers quit permanently. The anti-tobacco ads were successful, according to CDC Director Dr. Tom Frieden, because “The fact that you may die is not highly motivating to people. The fact that the remainder of your life may be very unpleasant is.” To find subjects for our PSA video, we’ll ask our family members and friends if they know any ex-smokers who survived a tobacco-related illness. We can also call the public relations departments of local hospitals and health agencies. We’ll use the “Tips From Former Smokers” videos as production guides, and share our final videos in class. Day 3: “Burning a hole in your wallet” Bell Ringer: How much does a pack of cigarettes cost in the state of Arkansas? What is the tax? Activity: “Burning a hole in my wallet” handout. If each pack of cigarettes costs $6.07, use the “Burning a Hole in Your Wallet” handout to show how much a smoker would spend in a year. Then students will write down what they might do with each amount of money rather than spending it on tobacco products. Students will then Research and discuss the taxes our state places on tobacco to discourage use. Our will then discuss if similar taxes should be placed on other unhealthy products. If so What kinds of products should be taxed in this way?/ Should these kinds of taxes go into general budget funds, or be dedicated for spending in certain ways, such as public health initiatives related to the items taxed?/ Exit Ticket. Day 4: “Under Pressure; The choice is yours” Bell Ringer: Read “Peer Pressure” article on TeensHealth.org / Discuss ways to deal Tobacco- related peer pressure. / Discuss ways to resist negative peer pressure. Activity: “Under Pressure handout” /Instructions for Handout: Knowing about risks and consequences of tobacco use, some teens still believe smoking is cool and feel peer pressure to try or continue smoking. You and your friends can influence each other’s choices and behaviors in positive and negative ways. The pressure to conform is hard to resist, so many teens take the easy way out and make unhealthy choices. / Students and a partner will get to together and create a scenario where a teen is feeling peer pressured into smoking. Students will think about the characters, strategies, and setting that teens can use when their feeling pressured to make unhealthy choices. / With your partner create a school poster to hang in the hallway about staying away from smoking, and why. / (You could also give reasons to stay away from smoking). Day 5: “No Smoking T-Shirt” Bell Ringer: Smoking quiz (Test your knowledge) Kahoot! Activity: Creating a T-shirt!!! Students will get creative and design a T-shirt to get the message out about the risks of smoking. Their T-shirt must include at least two facts about why smoking is bad for you. (Students may keep their T-Shirts!)
