    This document provides instructions for building a simple smoking machine using common household items to demonstrate that cigarette smoke contains tar. Students are warned to only do the experiment outdoors. The materials listed include a water bottle, cotton wool, cigarette, face mask, lighter, glue, rubber tubing, cello tape, and plastic. Students will mark and punch a hole in the bottle's lid, insert a cigarette wrapped in cotton and tubing through the hole, seal it, light the cigarette to pump smoke into the bottle, and observe the cotton turn yellow, indicating the presence of tar, a harmful substance that causes lung cancer.
