    hi there

    use a large container (similar to a wine bottle/coke two lilter with a neck piece) preferable plastic. in the middle of the bottle burn/melt a small hole (this shold allow for the bottle to bend/compress). then fill with a small amount of water. not to go over where you have burnt the hole, affix an inflated balloon over the top, (put your finger over the hole while doing this) get someone who is preferable older than a 6th grader to light the ciggerette) place the ciggerette on the hole, use the balloon as a placebo mouth and allow the ciggerete to puff away, this should turn your water a light brown, and there will be tabbacco residue in the balloon witch shows the residue left on the lungs. GOOD LUCK!!!!!!!!!

    just smoke a few ciggs and save some of the butt then put them in the water and show the class how the tars come out and taint the water, you can see streaks or it when you first put it in there. the puffing thing would take to long for me to explain, im lazy, but heres a hint mini air compresor controled voltage with poteniometer. or how ever you spell it. so groggy just woke up.you should be able to figure out the rest
