Teenagers are in for a shock if they listen to the latest anti-smoking campaign.
The Health Education Authority has produced some graphic pictures and statistics to try to persuade youngsters to give cigarettes a miss. They are used alongside photographs showing fashionable young people smoking. They are supported by disturbing research about the damage smoking does to your health. Damage to the airways and lungs begins from the first cigarette smoked. Lung cancer, heart disease and strokes may be the end point, but every cigarette contributes, and the damage gets worse every time you light up.
