Teens and Tobacco
You're educated, you're smart, and you're
aware. You know what's in and you know what's out. But do you know
the whole story about what's really in cigarettes? With
teen smoking on the rise, the Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention, or CDC, needs your help to let students know the
real deal about tobacco.
Did you know that cigarettes contain formaldehyde–the same
stuff used to preserve dead frogs?
Did you know that the same cyanide found in rat poison is
available in the cigarette smoke nearest you–whether you're a smoker or
just hanging around people who smoke?
And how about the nicotine in cigarettes? You probably already know
that it's addictive, but did you know that it's also a potent
insecticide found in bug spray?
