Service. Math Works needs you!  Help Willard Middle School students

at Willard (2425 Stuart St. near Telegraph).

6. Here is your health fact of the week, brought to you by the BHSHC 
Youth Advisory Board:  Marijuana smoke is harmful.  Because marijuana 
smoke is pulled deeply into the lungs, it can cause more lung damage 
than tobacco.  It is heavier than tobacco smoke and it is harder to 
get out of the lungs when exhaling.  Smoking one joint is equivalent 
to the health effects of smoking 10 cigarettes.
