The Psychology of Smoking: eLearning Storyboard

Most young adults know smoking is harmful, yet many start anyway and find it hard to stop. This 60-minute, self-paced module helps learners look past “it’s bad for you” to the physical, psychological, and social forces behind nicotine use and quitting. I storyboarded all six topics in PowerPoint, from a cinematic cold open to a final assessment and a support hub with helpline and counselling resources.
