__ **Materials:** __ - 2l bottle -Cotton -Plasticine -1 plastic plate -1 cigarette -1 lighter

First, we took off the lid of the 2L bottle, then we put the cotton on the hole the bottle has. Then we put the cigarrette in the center of the cotton wool so that the part that people put in their mouth is touching the cotton. Next we put the plasticine around the top of the bottle to sustain the cigarette so it didnt fall. Then light the cigarrette and squeeze the bottle with the hands so that air is suctioned inside the bottle. Continue squeezing in and out until the cigarrete is finished.
 * __Instructions:__**

The 2L bottle was full of smoke The cigarrette stub is all sticky and smelly The cotton was yellow (the nicotine) it smelled horrible __**What did we find out?**__ The cotton wool was yellow which represents the nicotine that sticks to peoples throats when they smoke. The cigarrette stub is all sticky and smelly and that is what stays in people's hands. The bottle was full of smoke and grey. This is all the smoke that stays in people's lungs with just one cigarrette.

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: serif; font-size: 16px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Smoking isn't good for one's body. Especially if you've been smoking a pack a day, and for a long period of time. But what is the full extent of the effects of smoking on your body? <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: serif; font-size: 16px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">The effects of smoking varies from person to person as it will depend on the person's vulnerability to the chemical in cigarette or tobacco smoke. It will also depend on the number of cigarette sticks a person smokes per day, the age when the person first started to smoke, and the number of years the person has been smoking.

Adds for cigarettes were all over the place. Today we're more aware about how bad smoking is for our health. Smoking is restricted or banned in almost all public places and cigarette companies are no longer allowed to advertise on TV, radio, and in many magazines. <span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">Almost everyone knows that smoking causes cancer, emphysema, and heart disease; that it can shorten your life by 10 years or more; and that the habit can cost a smoker thousands of dollars a year. So how come people are still lighting up? The answer, in a word, is addiction.

__<span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 29px;">**Once You Start, It's Hard to Stop** __
Smoking is a hard habit to break because tobacco contains nicotine, which is highly addictive. Like heroin or other addictive drugs, the body and mind quickly become so used to the nicotine in cigarettes that a person needs to have it just to feel normal. By: Veronica
