Our Collaborative Research on Smoking

Let’s do some research together and engage in some discussion together.

You’re each required to find:

• A surprising statistic about smoking or smokers
• An interesting health/science fact about smoking

You also need to leave a comment expressing your thoughts on a fact/statistic left by a classmate on each page.

So that’s a fact/statistic that you leave on each page and a comment on each page. Make sure that when you leave your comment you’re replying to the specific fact/statistic.

Do your work here:

• A surprising statistic about smoking or smokers
• An interesting health/science fact about smoking

If you want, you can also post or answer a question that you have about smoking here.
