Smoking is cool, isn't it?, isn't it?

Oh, sure it is.  After all, as a smoker you ...  may cover your bad breath with nicotine smell, have something to do while you hang around with friends, feel you are a winner, color your teeth yellow.

Teenage Smoking Didactic Unit

Many teens smoke. That'a a fact. Does that mean that we have to accept it, and that's it? Do we all have to learn to live with it? Well,  my answer to both questions is: "No, of course not!" The first thing we can do is have a look at this issue of teenage smoking and teenage smpkers. Let us learn about it,  and learn some English on the way. Let's read, see, listen, write and speak (all in English) about it, and come out with some inderstanding of our own. You can do all that using Web 2.0 tools. Give it a try! Incidentally, my own insight is that smoking isn't cool at all. It is only fair that you should know how I see issue right here, when we begin this journey. Enjoy this unit (but not a cigarette)                                                        Eduardo Lina
