I also used 'every cigarette is doing you damage' short clip during this lesson and printed off some of the health warnings as well as empty cigarette packets as props!

there are 2 different types of diagram to choose from for students to label. Have used with both KS3 and A level

A factual presentation about cancer. This lesson was actually given to a year 12 BTEC class but would be suitable for KS4
