Smoke and Mirrors: Effects of Tobacco

Now that you have learned about the ways in which tobacco can be damaging to your health and wellness, create an acrostic poem to warn others about its use. An acrostic poem uses the first letter of each line to spell out a word or a message pertaining to a theme.

Here is an example of an acrostic poem using the word DRUG:

Disruptive to your health
Risk of heart problems like a stroke or heart attack
Using drugs is dangerous
Get involved in other activities to avoid using drugs

Using the Tobacco Acrostic Poem Template, write an acrostic poem with the word TOBACCO. Your poem should describe some of the concepts that you learned in this topic. Use your creativity, and also ensure your poem makes sense, and is descriptive. When creating your poem, use the following guidelines:

• Your poem must include facts about tobacco that you studied in this topic.
• Each line must have a word, phrase, or sentence associated with it, so any “leftover” letters are for personal reflections.
• Your poem does not need to rhyme.
