Differentiation
Pupils needing extra support: Should focus just on the benefits of being a non-smoker. Children who have a member of their family who smokes may need additional support.
Pupils working at greater depth: Give the opportunity to think in more detail about how they might try and persuade someone to give up smoking. Make sure they understand that people probably know the long term health risks and therefore there may be other things that would influence them more, for example, the money they would save.
