Tobacco

Smoking tobacco is a common activity across cultures and continents. Young people are often a target group for campaigns explaining the health implications of smoking.

But the impact of smoking on health is not the only issue globally. Issues of worker’s rights, environmental degradation and child labour are all a part of big business tobacco.

These activities introduce the issues. Activities include finding out about health issues for smokers and tobacco producers, a chain of consequences looking at the environmental impacts of tobacco farming and case studies of tobacco children from Malawi, India, Bulgaria and the USA.
