Teens Against Tabacco Use (TATU) visited Sacajawea's 5th graders to teach them about the effects of tobacco on the human body. Among the activities were M&M's which represented different diseases that you can get from second-hand smoke, breathing through licorice straws to represent how it feels to breathe with emphysema, or asthma, and unhealthy pig lungs with air being pumped into both. Students were allowed to touch the pig lungs to feel the difference between the healthy ones and tumor filled ones. TATU is a mentoring program that allows teens to teach other students what they have learned about tobacco use.
