Biology/2nd grade science project

Question
My son needs to do a science project, and I was thinking that it would be nice to shoe him and his class the effects of cigarrete smoking. Unfortunately, I cannot find any ideas on how to go about this in a simple matter, he is in 2nd grade. Any ideas adn/or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Dear Melba,
Although this will mean that your son's project won't be exactly original, you can find a great way to design this project here:

To make it more scientific, you might suggest that he test the difference between filtered and unfiltered cigarettes, and see if the results differ between the two types.
Hope that helps. Good luck on the project.
