Rezekne District School writes letters to smokers

As a result of the 30 th Maya, the local government's educational administration organised a “open letter to smokers” in the Rēzekne municipality. As the educational administration interest education specialist Guntars ants told, such a competition has been organised for several years with the aim of paying public attention to the health risks posed by smoking. “We received seven letters that year, in which students encouraged people to discard or not start this harmful habit,” said Guntars ants.

The most creative and brightest work was received by the “prayer” of the 8 th grade school student of the Gigalava primary school, Vinetas Bolmanes “prayer of the unborn child” and the “unpleasant scene” of the 7 th grade school student of the Gigalava primary school, but the Rēzekne municipality's sarūpētās prizes and gratitude articles were received by all participants in the competition.

“Prayer of the unborn child” (author: Vineta Bolmane, 8 th grade school student of the primary school of Gaigalava)

Mom, Mommy, you hear? I coughed. Mom, i'm very afraid, afraid i'm going to be sick, i'm afraid it's hard for me to breathe. I want to live a full life. Mom, please don't put a cigarette in your mouth, i feel the bitter smoke on my flesh, feel like those smoke flows into my body. I look at your heart now, and it's not like me. What did that nicotine and tar do to it? It's no longer as beautiful as it was, it doesn't give me the calm song of sleep as it was before. Please, please, i want you to be happy without them – cigarettes.

Dad, please put that cigarette when you go to Mom. When you put your hand on Momma's punch, i would like to feel a stroke of a strong man's hand, not a man who searches for a tobacco stalk. My health is in your hands! I want to breathe freely, without the help of the inhaler. Help, Dad, please fill my dream!

I know you're a couple of years older than the eu. Please don't steal from Daddy's cigarette so you can enjoy it. Yes, i know everything because i see everything through Mom's eyes. You and Daddy will have to be a good example of how to live. I don't want you to smoke because it will harm me, you, all the people. Tell Dad and Mom to take care of your health.

I want to take care of all of us. These cigarettes shorten human life, but my dear, i wish to see you as much as possible if i was born. I want to feel my mother's caress longer, hear my father's praise and get older brother's advice. I don't ask you much, that cigarette money will be put on our children - the future so we can learn better in schools. I hope i will no longer feel the aroma of these unpleasant cigarettes, because it weakens and destroys my mother's puzzle.

To meet!
Unborn child.

“Unpleasant scene” (author: Imants Spīch, 7 th grade school student of Gaigalava primary school)

The bluffs are your nails,
Smoker, that's not good,
Sachet, after sachet,
Pouch empty, no money.

The teeth remain yellow,
The long smell is not so pleasant,
The lungs die every day,
Better sport or drink milk!
“Leave me, leave me!”
The following words are in the day,
You'll do anything!
To get the hammer, the cigarette doesn't smoke!
You owe me,
There will be nothing at home,
You'll have a lighter in your pocket,
And another “Bonda” sachet.
Adolescents smoking assets,
To feel “cruel, stylish”,
It starts smoking,
The bending of his stomach.
If this reading, the smoker,
Remember, it will end badly.
I don't fear anyone,
I'm just telling the truth!

“Unsuccessful cigarette” (author: Victoria Becker, 8 th grade school student of Gaigalava primary school)

Hello, my dear friend!

I want you to listen to me with the help of this letter. I also thought that cigarettes were a good friend and could comfort me in any situation, but i was mistaken.

I was a kind man, i enjoyed smoking at home, on the street, and in the public places, and liked to wipe out the old cigarettes. With time, i had serious health problems, even though others had long lost me that i was smoking a lot and that it wasn't going to end.

All that was good in my life was only in photographs … it was the happiest stage in my life - youth. But suddenly i didn't pay attention to the time, i had everything, I was just bad, and i didn't want to control anything.

On the evening of the day before i slept, i wanted to smoke and one cigarette made me think about smoking. My thoughts wandered all the way, and i was a little awake when a cigarette came out of my bed. I felt the smell of smoke and burn in my sleep. I jumped and looked at the flames of fire at my bed. They jumped into the curtains, then there were burnt wallpapers... Oh, God! Help! Help! Save me! My consciousness darkened, and i did n't remember anything … I did n't think i was more.

But no! I had another chance to live, but all my good memories burned, all my life was destroyed by only one cigarette!

It turns out that cigarettes are affected not only by our health but also by our lives, relations with the Middle People. The cigarette is dangerous for me and everyone else, so think about your health and the people before you buy a cigarette!

Unlucky smoker.

“Open letter to smokers” (author: 5 th grade school student Edgars Barinov)

Hello, honourable stranger!

I want to introduce you to hard statistics. Approximately 50% people are active smokers and data show that many are dead from smoking. Many have become disabled. Health is the main thing, but the money does not play a minor role. Smokers spend more than 350 euros per year on average.

In addition, i can say that smoking also has a serious impact on the nervous system. Those who come to the police for various offences are often smokers, the most young people. Many have paid a penalty for smoking in an unauthorised place.

I want to tell you a fact from my friend's experience. He was tea with not very well-known people. His friend was boring and he was “beating.” When the club started and the police came, all the guilt was put on his friend, as he was intoxicated from smoking and unable to defend himself. He was lucky because he imposed a relatively small penalty - 50 euros.

I might be bad for you, but i say that the fine is too little for smokers in open places. Should be “seated” for at least 3 days. When they get back for hours and let them go, they might not be smoking cigarettes where they don't be, and where cigarette smoke is harmful to the people.

If you're a grandchild, but you've already begun to Smoke, you should impose an even higher penalty on you - about 90 euros. I could also propose to parents to withdraw the right to a smoking child, why don't they look at what the little girl is doing behind them? If they were sanctioned, very much punishment, they would cry from complaining that they didn't see the child. The child itself can be placed in the colony for a couple of years, and when he comes out he will no longer want to take a cigarette in his mouth, he will be sick of smoke and memories.

You may know about the harmlessness of smoking yourself, but if you want to be healthy without stressing every detail, you don't want trouble for yourself and your parents, save money, don't come into a police view, don't be a neighbor's gossip object, please girls, then GIVE UP SMOKING UNTIL IT'S TOO LATE!

With respect - Edgars Barinov

“Open letter to smokers” (author: Student 7 of the Dricana Secondary School Aigars Elksnis)

Hello! I want to tell you about one person called Mick and he's smoking.

Mik, i'm talking about you. I want to say that Smoking is very unhealthy. First of all, your lungs are broken, they remain black or brown; these damaged lungs also lose their strength, you can't run up to 1 km, you're not going to breathe. Secondly, you will have a different look, or the teeth will begin to blow and the yellow-eyed apples will be, also nails and your own hands. Thirdly, you will have a dependency, after which you can no longer stop, your lungs will begin to stink.

Life expectancy will decrease by up to 10 years, as many blood vessels and cardiac diseases such as pneumonia, bronchitis, asthma and respiratory disease occur from smoking.

Did you know what the cigarette was?

nicotine - dependence-inducing substance, strength as strong as drug cocaine and heroin. • butane - gasoline-containing, flammable substance. • acetone - one of the nail varnish components. May cause nerve, kidney and liver damage. • cadmium - a substance in the battery that damages the liver, kidneys and brain and has remained in the human body for years. • Ammonia - contributes to the absorption of nicotine. • lead - damage the brain, nerves, kidneys and reproductive system, causes low blood-blood problems. • arsenic – a fatal poison, which is felt like the burning of the lips. • Benzo-pyrene – one of the strongest cancer-causing substances. • toluene – a very toxic substance used to dissolve the colour. Low doses may result in fatigue, fatigue and loss of appetite. • tar – used in road asphalation. May cause respiratory damage. • vinyl chloride is used in the production of vinyl products, may lead to dizziness, fatigue. Long-term effects may cause cancer and lung damage. • Creosote - a tar ingredient that may cause respiratory irritation. • Polonium 210 – a radioactive substance that may contribute to lung and gallbladder cancer, ulcers, leukaemia • Hydrogen cyanide, a fatal poison used to kill rats. When inhaled at low doses, headache, dizziness and fatigue may be caused. Touch gas - fatal poison when inhaled in closed spaces.

I think you don't know any of these things.

The choice is yours!

“Open letter to smoker!” (author: Student 7 of the Dricana Secondary School Ilmārs Cross)

John, we all know that smoking is harmful, and the best thing is, of_course, the smokers themselves. I don't understand just one... Why do you need to smoke? You know that it is harmful to your health.

Did you know that you were spending a lot of money in a year?

A regular smoker in Latvia contributes even 1200 euros per year to the development of tobacco industry.

Imagine what a good car would be about this amount of money.

In addition, you would have good health and doctors would have less work on your health.

Rarely, one of us knows that every year there is a need for a quarter of the healthcare budget to be channelled to the treatment of tobacco and alcohol-related diseases, about a third of fires in Latvia cause not to be extinguished!

I recommend that you do not smoke and have cleaner teeth. They won't be at least yellow and your breath will be fresh, and your fingers don't stink.

Do you know what tobacco is causing? I'll tell you about it.

The use of tobacco causes cough, throat inflammation and hoarseness, causes bad breath, reduces physical capacity, weakens the immune system, improves the smell and taste perceptions, encourages dyspnoea, and inflammation and bleeding of the mouth, teeth and gums.

A year after smoking, the risk of cardiovascular disease decreases.

Do you feel happier when you smoke? I'll advise you to stop smoking! It's never too late!

I hope this letter will change your mind and you'll think what the smoking is doing.

John! It's like everything, just don't forget what i said to you!

“Letter to 15-year-old smoker” (author: Culnezeru Catholic Schools 5. Class School Sabine Kapacha

Good day, friend!

In our Latvia spring is preparing a road for warm summer. Everything blows and sings. The air saturated with a variety of perfumes so that it would drag it into the lungs deep, deep and keep the freshness of summer heat, autumn and winter. But sometimes the nose feels the unpleasant aroma of tobacco smoke, and i understand that the breathless air gives me not a health but a certain dose of poison. I become thoughtful and worry about myself and others. So i decided to write this letter too, because i know you like it with cigarettes.

Very many people smoke. Teenagers smoke because they think they look adult and stylish. Others smoke because they think it can calm down, or just curiosity after they want to try. But smoking is very harmful. The smokers themselves can be affected by severe and even untreated diseases. The people next to the smoker are passive smokers and, contrary to their will, inhale the poisonous air, worsen their health. Smoking is also harmful to smoking. Some people, smoking a cigarette, thrown into the grass, or the forest and the burning begins, some smokers sleep with a smoky cigarette in their hand and cause fires and cause them to die themselves and endanger everyone in the environment. Cigarette production plants produce poisonous waste water and gases that come into the environment. By collecting waste on the day of the talc, along with various glass and plastic products, there was also a lot of empty cigarette packs that show that smokers pollute the environment also in this way.

I think that smoking does not make people grow older or stylish. Smokers get more sick and die faster. Many active or passive smokers suffer from cancer that cannot be treated. Don't give anyone a cigarette, and if any acquaintance offers to smoke, you'd better give up because your life and the people of the people depend on it! To discard smoking, you will need a great deal of will and restraint. So i'm asking you - don't get a real Smoke! Better collect money for cigarettes and go to a journey or buy and read a good book or make something else.

With greetings, Sabine.
