Education in the school makes it possible to master not only basic knowledge in the field of exact and human sciences, but also to obtain useful information for life. In view of the increased number of smokers among very young schoolchildren in the junior and senior classes began to spend a class hour on the dangers of smoking. Its main goal is to convey to the students the negative consequences that smoking leads to. How to build a cool hour about the dangers of smoking, what is worth talking about and when is it better to do this in this article.

The history of the International Day of Quitting

Usually a cool hour about the dangers of smoking is held within the International Day of Quitting. The date of this day changes annually, as it is celebrated on the third Thursday of November. In 2017, the date of the International Day of Quitting and, as a consequence, the information hours about the dangers of smoking for schoolchildren is November 16. For the first time people began to pay attention to this event in 1977. The decision to hold the International Day of Quitting came from the American Cancer Society. In their opinion, the introduction of this holiday will allow reducing the prevalence of dependence on tobacco, will involve many people in the process of fighting against smoking and will lead to informing society about the irreversible consequences of smoking. In order to accurately and timely deliver the necessary information to schoolchildren, it was decided to compulsorily arrange a class hour about the dangers of smoking.

Structure of the class hour

Before you understand what to tell and what to discuss on a class hour, you need to determine its subject and name. The most common topics, if you need to talk briefly about the dangers of smoking, are: "I do not smoke and you do not advise!", "Say your smoking is hard" NO "", "Smoking - harm health." Thus, in the first case it is necessary to emphasize the positive aspects of a non-smoker and share his experience, in the second one one should more tell how to cope with this addiction and the third topic will reveal all the negative impact of cigarettes on the body. Those who are allowed time can try to open all aspects at once. In this case, such a topic about the dangers of smoking is suitable, as "Smoking is a million against and none for". The main stages of conducting a class hour include:

1. Definition of goals and objectives.

2. Information gathering and preparation.

3. Conducting an information hour on the dangers of smoking for junior schoolchildren or adolescents.

• Teacher's introductory speech.
• Address to the audience with an explanation of what harmful effects of smoking exist in nature.
• Presentation of the report prepared by the student.
• Quiz about the dangers of smoking.
• The final word of the class teacher.

4. Analysis of the event.

These stages are basic, but it is obvious that before formulating a plan for your event, the class teacher should evaluate the audience and make a decision to add or remove any component. It is worthwhile to understand that the class hour about the dangers of smoking for teenagers will be more full, deep and serious, than this event organized for the pupils of the junior school.

Goals and objectives

The story about smoking and its impact on health should, first of all, lead to the formation of a negative image of the smoker in the minds of students. To achieve this goal, you must perform the following tasks:

• To reveal the very concept of smoking and to reveal its essence;
• To develop skills that counteract smoking;
• To introduce schoolchildren to the conduct of a healthy lifestyle.

Methodical development of a class hour about the dangers of smoking must necessarily include the process of creating a presentation. Slides should show unhealthy looking smokers with experience, namely the discoloration of his teeth, the appearance of bruises under his eyes, flabby and neglected skin. Also on one of the slides you can reflect the prices of cigarettes. In figures it is also recommended to demonstrate how much money a year the smoker spends on buying them, and that for these funds one could buy some cool game console or a modern mobile phone. So the prices for cigarettes will seem even higher, and the desire to acquire them will decrease several times. It is planned that after a conversation about the dangers of smoking, schoolchildren should understand the harm they inflict, form the ability not to succumb to provocations and give preference to a healthy lifestyle.

Preparatory stage

In order to maximally correctly and competently convey to listeners the whole truth about the dangers of smoking for schoolchildren, it is necessary to use reliable sources. Of course, there is a lot of information on the web that can really be used as a basis. But in order to penetrate more deeply into the problem it is necessary to study books about the dangers of smoking. As recommended, read:

• "Quit smoking" - specific recommendations from M. Stoppard.
• "The weapon of genocide" - a demonstration of obvious things that are harmful to humanity, from the forecasting and analytical center.
• "An easy way to quit smoking" is a bestseller based on real events from the life of Allen Carr.

Of course, the main work on preparing for a class hour is assigned to the teacher, but children can not be left indifferent either. It should be suggested that students find interesting information on this topic and present it in the format of the report. It can be like unusual facts from life, and funny poems, and fascinating skits. For greater clarity, you should instruct the children to break up into groups, each of which will bring to the event a wall newspaper on a given topic. On average, there are about four posters on the themes:

• Smoker's appearance and appearance is not a smoker.
• One pack of cigarettes is ...
• Harm to health.
• 10 reasons to quit smoking.

The more illustrative material there is, the higher the likelihood that a cool hour about the dangers of smoking will actually bear fruit.

What should the teacher say at the beginning of the conversation?

The first thing a class teacher should read is an epigraph to the lesson. It is worth remembering that it should be bright, sonorous and memorable. As a good option, you can consider the following examples: "Tobacco is not a friend" or "If you smoke tobacco - you will be your enemy". After that, one should proceed to the essence of the problem, based on the fact that the harmful effects of tobacco smoking have been known for a very long time. Clear and good for delivering the necessary information will be the following words: "Hundreds of years ago, people realized that smoking leads to irreversible effects in the work of the body. Detect a smoker has always been very simple - it hurts a strong cough and shortness of breath. It is proved that when you are in a room in which someone smokes, it becomes not only difficult to breathe, but it is almost impossible to think logically. In history, a huge number of animal experiments were conducted. As a result, it was found that nicotine is harmful to a living organism. The most important argument against smoking was that one drop of nicotine kills three horses at once. The human body, of course, receives nicotine in smaller doses, but even a minimal impact leads to serious health problems. " Having interested the listeners, forcing them to think about interesting facts, one can proceed to a detailed explanation of the harmful consequences.

Speech about harmful consequences

Everyone has his own understanding of the word cigarette. Harm to health, despite this, from them incredibly serious. The words that are more associated with cigarettes and their negative aspects are presented below:

• Nicotine is a poison that causes nerve palsy. It acts on the principle of blocking the cardiovascular and respiratory center of the brain.
• Cancer - this disease is caused by substances contained in the substances inhaled during smoking, which number more than forty. The greatest harm is caused by benzopyrene, the use of which is also practiced by scientists setting experiments on the formation of a cancerous tumor in rats.
• Harmful substances - special harm to the smoker's organism is caused by ammonia, hydrocyanic acid, tar and CO.
• Pneumonia and bronchitis - smoking weakens the protection of epithelial cells, which leads to infection of the bronchi or lungs.
• Reduction of the life span - if a smoker consumes one pack of cigarettes a day, then the duration of his life decreases. One smoked cigarette is equal to the loss of twelve minutes of life.
• Dependence - if a smoker reduces the number of cigarettes smoked and his body stops receiving the usual nicotine share, he becomes irritable, his concentration and performance level decreases. As a result, his body begins to demand increasing the number of cigarettes consumed.

As for smoking students, smoking destroys their nervous system, lowers hearing, worsens memory, creates a bad mental and physical state, leads to poor grades and slow thinking. Scientists have proved that the female organism is more susceptible to the negative effects of tobacco, smoking leads to coarsening of the voice and withering of the skin.

A report that can be offered to one of the students

Modern scientists in the process of studying smokers, came to the conclusion that an increase in the number of people smokers leads to an irreversible increase in the number of dangerous diseases.

Another fact that scientists have established is that smokers, addicted to tobacco before the age of fifteen, die five times more often due to lung cancer than people who started smoking at the age of more than 25 years. Also frequent diseases of smokers are angina pectoris, heart attack, stomach ulcer and all the same lung cancer.

Tobacco is so bloodthirsty that it harms absolutely every human body. The main victims are the bladder, kidneys, glands and blood vessels of the genital organs, liver and brain.

The heart also does not remain without damage. Smoking causes him to perform fifteen thousand cuts more. Also, oxygen supply and enrichment with other important substances deteriorates. Tobacco causes the blood vessels to shrink, which leads to a weakening of memory and, as a consequence, a decrease in the student's progress.

Quiz

After listening to a lot of interesting material prepared by the teacher and students, knowledge should be consolidated. The best way for this is a cognitive quiz. It can include a variety of issues on this topic. The following tasks can be used as a basis:

1. Question: "What substance, which is a part of tobacco, causes the greatest harm to the human body?" Answer: Polonium 210 is a radioactive metal that constantly irradiates a smoker, 300 smoked cigarettes are equivalent to the daily passage of X-rays throughout the whole year. "
2. Question: "What can I buy myself for money spent during the year on cigarettes (clarification: the average cost of a pack of cigarettes is 30 rubles, per day the smoker uses one pack, for a year spends 10950 rubles.)?" - The answer for each student will be his own.
3. Question: "When did tobacco appear in Russia, and what kind of sanctions were applied to smokers by Tsar Mikhail Fedorovich Romanov?" Answer: "In England, tobacco was brought to Arkhangelsk in 1585. If the smoker was first caught with a cigarette, he was punished with 60 th strokes on the heels." The secondary hit resulted in the cutting off of his nose or ears. "
4. Question: "Continue correctly the phrase that was popular during the reign of Peter I:" Who smokes tobacco, it's worse ... ". Variants of answers: 1) goats, 2) pigs, 3) gray wolves, 4) dogs. The correct answer is: 4) dogs.

conclusions

The first thing every school child should understand is that the negative consequences of smoking are not accidental. They can not escape to anyone. The opinion that a particular person will not touch, because he smokes only one or two cigarettes a day, is deeply mistaken. Tobacco spares no one.

Smokers live for several years less than non-smokers. The great and very talented doctor Botkin SP, finding himself on his deathbed, regretfully remarked that if it were not for smoking, he could have lived at least another ten years. Losing such a precious time does not want anyone. Therefore, in order not to lead the body to undesirable dependence on nicotine, it is better not to start smoking.

Those who still decide to spend a lot of money on cigarettes, you should only sympathize. They can not only stay without a brand new phone or fashion sneakers, but they will also acquire an unhealthy complexion, faded skin, yellow teeth and a hoarse voice. Nerve and irritability will be their best friends, not only thanks to the effects of nicotine, but also because of the lack of the ability to smoke everywhere. In Russia, there is a law that prohibits smoking on the territory of the Sports Palaces, swimming pools, gyms, medical and educational institutions, resorts, sanatoria and vehicles. In connection with the lack of the opportunity to consume the necessary dose of nicotine, smoking schoolchildren become not only nervous, but also the most lagging in the class.

If the schoolchildren do not want to remain in the ranks of the losers, then they need to take care of themselves urgently. Quit smoking will help books and all known method for replacing cigarettes with sweets. Having said goodbye to the addictive habit, a person begins to breathe in full breast and live a completely new, brighter and more saturated life.

Analysis of the event

The most important indicator of a successful class hour is the reduction in the number of smokers in the class. Effective is the conversation with the students, after which the progress improves, the number of late and absenteees is reduced. Also clear proof that the student gave up smoking is an improvement in his appearance and the absence of a previously habitual cough. It is very difficult to know exactly how many people have learned the information and started working on themselves. But if all the students are always in the classroom, no one runs away and quietly prepares for a new lesson, this is a very great indicator of the success of the class time spent. It is worthwhile to understand that the situation can not be corrected by one conversation held on the International Day of the smoker. In order to constantly maintain the theme of the fight against smoking and to focus on it, it is recommended that all posters prepared by children for the class hour be placed in the office. To children are very enthusiastic about the creation of wall newspapers, you can motivate them with a subsequent contest. So, in a month the teacher can vote and choose the best work for which the pupil will get a symbolic gift. The participation of the class teacher in the life of his students is one of the important factors in the formation of their right goals and thoughts. The teacher should be the second mother. Therefore, sometimes to scold smokers for such a bad habit will not be superfluous. In addition, it is necessary to continue working not only with students, but also with their parents. So to cope with the dependence will be even easier.
