Smoking makes you stupid?
writen by David Gutierrez (http://www.naturalnews.com/029484_smoking_IQ.html)

          Researchers in Israel (Tel Aviv University) tested that 28% of 20,000 men smoked, 3% were former smokers and 68% had never smoked. te article says that "The average IQ of the smokers was 94, compared with 101 among the non-smokers. Men who smoked more than a pack of cigarettes a day had an average IQ of 90." Even the twins that they tested had the same result. The twin who smokes has a lower IQ than the other who does not.

          The researchers' study could not prove smoking is the reason for people having low IQ or having a lower IQ predisposed people to smoke but they did not count off the possibility that social and economical status produces both smoking and lower IQ.

Either way, smoking is still dangerous for your health and the people's health around you.

MESSAGE FROM STICKS OF DEATH
HELLO ;D


This is the first official post of the team from Future Problem Solving Program from Dunearn Secondary School. We have made it into the National Finals and now we we'll be setting up a booth at RGS in Novermber. Please support this page ;) We are trying to discourage and prevent those who have not started to never start smoking at all. It is really bad for health and it's a waste of money.


We started our work in March this year and have come a long way since. In July, we held two Assembly talks to our schoolmates to educate them on the health risks associated to smoking. Although we are just a group of eight secondary one students, we are commited to discourage underage smoking in our school. We will be posting regular updates on our events and activities, as well as articles related to smoking in our blog. Through this blog, we hope to reach out to as many youths as possible in our communtiy, and not just youths in our school.
