For this project you will need to obtain a range of leaflets and pamphlets about smoking. You might be able to get some through your school or college and from local libraries. You may also want to look at some smoking related websites.

Organisations that can be useful in providing information or leaflets on smoking, tobacco advertising controls and health include:

ASH is a charity that produces many leaflets and publications on smoking and public health. You may have to pay for them.
Telephone 020 7739 5902

QUIT provides information on smoking and health issues. You can find specific material on young people on their website or
Telephone 020 7251 1551

NATIONAL TOBACCO CAMPAIGN is a NHS smoking helpline. They could provide useful statistics. Telephone 0800 169 0 169
Once you have collected a range of different information and leaflets look at them and decide:

	Who are they aimed at?
	What information is given about smoking?
	What are the key messages about smoking?
	How different and similar are the information given?
	What do you think of the design and the way the information are presented?
	How accurate are information given?
	How well are the leaflets/information suited to their target audience?
	Which do you think is the best and worst leaflet and why?

Write a report of your findings in your project book. You might also show the leaflets and findings to other people (fellow students, teachers, parents) and ask them what they think of them.
