ReplyDeleteThanks for posting these answers, I was wondering how I performed on the quiz. I really enjoyed your lesson.
ReplyDeleteWow, 70% of smokers want to quit? That's a lot. I also am disgusted that secondhand smoke causes 50,000 deaths per year. All I can think about is the poor kids that have to put up with their inconsiderate parents that smoke around them on a daily basis. Thanks for posting the answers!
ReplyDeleteI cannot believe that smoking kills 1200 individuals EACH DAY!! That's so crazy! Thanks for sharing the answers now I can inform other people about smoking in the U.S. and in Minnesota!
