1 Reasons Why People Smoking and Ways To Quit By: Abbie Reeves

2 I am interested in this topic because I wanted to learn more. Most of the members in my family smoke. Interest

3 Paper

4 Why do people still smoke even though it causes cancer and diseases? Driving Question

5 People should not smoke because smoking forms bad habits, they can be harmed physically and mentally by smoking, and they will have a difficult time quitting. Thesis

6 Person smoking on the right. Nicotine Receptors in the Brain on the left.

7 Non-smoker and smoker lung on left. Peer pressure below.

8 Relapse on the top and therapist on the right.

9 Important Facts Non-smokers have a 20-30 percent risk of lung cancer from second hand smoking. Smoking counts for 90% of lung cancer in the US. Second-hand smoking causes 202,000 asthma attacks.

20 Impact My product impacts others because it's for everyone. I didn't just outline the reasons to quit, I outlined the reasons why people do. My website was to show people why others smoke. It was also to get people from smoking.

21 Mentor I had a mentor. It was really fun working with her. She helped with grammar during the process and keeping me on track.

22 What I Learned... I learned how managing the time you get is important. I learned not everyone likes to be interviewed. I learned making a website isn't easy.

23 My product relates to my paper because I directly took my paper's information and put it into a website and brochure format. Connection Between Paper and Product

24 Successes I got my project done. Putting the interview video together was easy. Brochure I had to switch everything from weebly to squarespace. Paper Time and internet connection. Challenges

25 I will not be pursuing this as a career option. I will be going into the medical field to try and help people. I will take away the fact the knowledge and try to help some of the people in my family, who still smoke and have smoked for a long time. Career and “Take Away” Thoughts
