"Smoking Stinks" is a fun way for kids to learn about the dangers of tobacco use without the appearance of "teaching." The story of Maddie and her concern about her grandfather's smoking habit sends a powerful message that nicotine is a drug and that its use is not "cool."
In this case, Maddie is concerned not only for her grandfather's health, but also for the effect that his smoking has on her well-being. A happy ending is in store, however.
