Problems encountered during the making of our project.

Basically, the problems we encountered during the making of the project was the lack of time, team spirit and not understanding some of the things the teacher taught. Although we completed the project in the end, we felt that we did not do it that well. We felt that it can be improved more, but we had not enough time. We also felt that we do not have enough team spirit because at times, when we were very tired, we would throw tantrums and not do the work we were assigned to. We also needed to cope with the school homework and did not have much time for the project work even though we knew that it was an important subject. Anyway, we were happy that we completed the project in time for submission.

Never Smoke !!

Do you know how harmful smoking is? Tobacco smoke contains more than 4000 different chemicals that are very harmful to our body. Out of these 4000 different chemicals, around 43 of them are knows as carcinogens. Carcinogens can cause cancer in human body. These are the few examples of the chemicals in tobacco smoke :

1) Benzene(known as petrol additive). It is a colourless cyclic hydrocarbon obtained from coal and petroleum, used as a solvent in fuel and in chemical manufacture. This chemical can cause leukemia.

2)Formaldehye(known as embalming fluid). A colourless, highly poisonous liquid. Also known to cause cancer, skin and respiratory and gastrointestinal problems.

3)Ammonia(known as toilet cleaner). Used as the flavouring in cigarettes, frees nicotine from tobacco by turning it into gas. Found in dry cleaning fluids.

4)Carbon monoxide(CO, car exhaust flames). Odourless, tasteless and poisonous gas. It is fatal in large amount. It is the main gas in cigarette smoke, formed when the cigarette is lit.





Besides these harmful chemicals, there are many more ! Every year, hundreds of thousands of people die from smoking because of the disease caused by it. Smoking is a slow way to die, the strain caused by smoking often causes years of pain and sufferings. When you smoke, you are not only torturing yourself, when those people around you inhales the smoke you exhale, they are at a even greater risk for mane of the health problems caused by smoking.



Why do people smoke nowadays? Due to peer pressure? Stress? Wants to look cool? These are the most common reason on why people smoke. Smoking is certainly harmful. NEVER
