WA-8 draft 2 3-1

Hey kids! My name's Buddy the Bear, and I'm here to teach you guys about the dangers of smoking! You see, smoking is bad. It's bad for you and for the other people around you. It messes up your insides, and you stop breathing right. If you smoke, you'll never make it past the fifth grade! I know thats a long time from now, but you can never be too careful! I wanted to warn you now about smoking so that you can live until you're two hundred years old! Would you like that? You'll have great grand children just as young as you are now. If you don't smoke, anything is possible. You could go to far away places, and have exciting adventures! You can be firefighters, or policemen, or ballerinas, or airplane pilots! You might even be on TV! That would be cool huh?

But if you smoke, none of that stuff will happen. You will spend your whole day wasting away on the couch smoking dirty cigarettes, and killing yourself slowly and very painfully. You see kids, there is much more to cigarettes and cigars than just tobacco. There is lots of hurtful stuff that will kill you if you smoke it. Cigarettes are poison, and the people that sell them to you are very mean. They don't care if you're just 7 years old. They don't care if you die from the cigarettes that they give you. They just want your money! Isn't that horrible? What kind of people would do that to you?

Thats all the time I have! I've enjoyed talking with you, and I hope you learned a lot today. Remember kids...If you don't smoke, you wont die!
