Big Idea(s)

1. Poison is a substance that causes illness or death when it gets in the body.

2. An inhalant is a poison that is breathed in through the nose or mouth.

3. Drugs are something that changes the way your body acts or feels. When used as prescribed or directed, medicines are drugs that are legal. There are also drugs that are illegal or against the law.

4. Medicine is what you take when you are sick to get well. When used as prescribed or directed, medicines are drugs that are legal.

5. You should never give your medicine to someone else or take someone else's medicine. Medicine that helps one person might make someone else really sick.

6. You should not take medicine unless administered by a trusted adult. The most important part of taking medicine is following the directions. The directions tell you the dosage, which is how much medicine to take and how often to take it. Directions might tell you to take medicine with food, what time to take it, or keep it in the refrigerator. Or you might need to stay out of the sun. A trusted adult is one who takes care of making sure you know what the directions are and how to follow the directions when taking your medicine.

7. Over-the-counter medicines are medicines you can buy from a store without a prescription from a doctor. Prescription medicine is medicine that your doctor writes a prescription or order for that your trusted adult takes to a pharmacist to fill.

8. If someone offers you illegal drugs you should say "no" and walk away. If you see someone with illegal drugs at school or in your community, tell a trusted adult right away. Trusted adults in your community and at school want and need to keep everyone safe.

9. You should say "no" to illegal drugs because they are dangerous, can harm your growing body (lungs, heart, brain), can be addictive (a person's body needs more and more just to feel okay), and they are against the law.

10. Tobacco is bad for you because there is a drug called nicotine in it. Nicotine is a chemical that makes you feel hyper or tingly for a short time. Nicotine can be addictive, which means that when people use it more, their bodies and minds need more just to feel okay. Tobacco comes in many forms: cigarettes, cigars, chewing tobacco (loose leaf, plug, pouch, twist), pipes, and vape pens.

11. You should not consume alcohol because alcohol use in the teenage years or younger has been related to a wide range of health and social problems. Alcohol use during childhood has been related to increased health risks (including alcohol-related injuries), involvement in violence, risky behaviors, and it can affect the normal development of vital organs and functions, including the brain, liver, bones, and hormones.

I want to make sure you understand our two new words. Would you please use each in a sentence that shows you understand the definition of both words?

Tobacco contains many harmful things, including a drug called nicotine. Only adults may ever buy products with tobacco in them.

What things have tobacco in them?

Some of the effects of tobacco that we can see on the outside of our bodies are:

• teary eyes

• yellow teeth

Some of the effects tobacco has on the inside of our bodies are:

• heart

• lungs

Just being around cigarette smoke can be harmful. Secondhand smoke can harm the eyes, lungs, and heart.

Can you find your eyes, lungs, and heart in the picture below?

I would like for you to brainstorm in pairs about ways you might ask someone to please stop smoking around you.

I'm looking for volunteers to share some of the different ways you came up with to ask someone to please stop smoking around you.

Let's sing a song to help us remember why tobacco is harmful. It is sung to the tune of "Head, Shoulders, Knees & Toes":

Your eyes, your teeth, your heart, your lungs,

Your eyes, your teeth, your heart, your lungs,

Your eyes, your teeth, your heart, your lungs,

Can all be harmed by tobacco.
