Can still remember today

[keyholekatebaron]

The thing that I can still visualize today is from school in the early 60's when we all had to go to the assembly hall.The subject was about smoking.We were confronted by a glass case which had a section of a human lung preserved in formaldehyde from someone who had smoked.I still have a vision of it today with the black tar deposit.I am a non-smoker but both of my parents smoked and my first and second husband do.It does not bother me that others do that is their choice.My sin is liking sweet stuff.
Food for thought!

well it worked for you then. I remember having a talk from the police about seat belts before they were compulsory and from that day forward I always belted up.

Never had anything like that when I was at school (70's- 80's) but I now work alongside stop smoking advisors and they have pretty horrible examples they show of tar and lung damage.
My education was quite tame really, never got to any exciting science experiments either....

We used to have geology lectures in the Anatomy lecture hall - with a Prof, of Britain's leading sedimentologists, who would chain-smoke his way through his own lecture.

On one side there was a display cabinet with a real human skeleton inside it. Towards the end of the year, we picked the lock and hung the message "Smoking Can Damage Your Health" around its neck.

It brought the house down when he saw it.....

As you know, DT, I provide answers of equal quality to that posed by the questioner.
A good question deserves a good answer, if it is something I feel I can tackle.
