Environmental Tobacco Smoke
Environmental tobacco smoke (secondhand smoke) has been linked with several health problems.
Review the material presented on this National Cancer Institute's Web page and send a letter to a local restaurant on why they should become smoke-free. If your area does not allow smoking in restaurants or bars, pick a place where people have smoked around you and write about the health effects of changing this environment from smoke-filled to smoke-free.
