D.A.R.E <br />My name is Annika and I want to tell you about my <br />learning experience in the D.A.R.E. program. During my <br />10 weeks of D.A.R.E. I learned that over 400,000 people <br />die each year just because of tobacco — related causes. Did <br />you know that there are 200 known poisons in tobacco? It <br />is also illegal to sell tobacco to anyone under the age of 18. <br />Smoking is the #1 cause of lung cancer. <br />Smoking can give yellow teeth and smelly breath. If you <br />play sports you could suffer from shortness of breath and <br />dizziness. If you smoke you could also catch more colds <br />and experience upper respiratory problems. <br />Cigarettes contain nicotine, a powerful substance the can <br />cause addiction. Approximately 3,000 nonsmokers die of <br />lung cancer each year from breathing in other peoples 2nd <br />hand smoke. <br />Marijuana is bad. It affects every part of your body. <br />Marijuana causes breathing problems and also affects your <br />brain and your body. It can cause short -term memory loss <br />and the inability to concentrate. Did you know that <br />marijuana users have an increased risk of cancer? <br />Marijuana smoke contains 50% to 70% more of some <br />cancer causing chemicals than tobacco smoke. <br />Marijuana can be addicting.
