D.J. the deejay brings music, fun and important lessons to CMS

On Thursday, Oct. 25, KissFM broadcasted from the Cohoes Middle School cafeteria. Not only was the radio station broadcasting tunes the students enjoyed, they were broadcasting a message about the dangers of smoking.

KissFM deejay "D.J." wandered through the crowd of students, posing for photos and asking trivia questions to students about smoking and giving them prizes.

For example, students learned how long it takes a cigarette butt to decompose, how long the toxins from cigarettes stay in your body and the fact that tobacco use is the number one preventable cause of death, killing more than 400,000 people each year.
