You could play the Longevity Game to see how long you might live.  Sure it is probably not accurate but it gets the point across.  To see the site click here.  The Wall Street Journal did an article to show some of the flaws in the calculators that are out there.  To see this article click here.

The following infographic could make a nice poster for your classroom.  Go to Staples or Quicksigns or Vistaprint etc to get one made.  The website that this came from also has many links and a Cost of Smoking Calculator.  To see the site click here.
