I've thought for a long time that school health classes focus on the wrong things. They tell teens that smoking will ruin their health, cause lung cancer, etc, but they forget that teens think they're immortal - none of that will happen to them. If they told them it will make their teeth stained, their skin yellow, everything they own smell, etc, etc, they'd get a lot fewer teens smoking.
