Donuts and cigarettes

Warning: Spoilers
Ah these were the good old days when tobacco was the most dangerous drug abused on the school grounds. It seems that grouchy old teacher Mister Dragan is trying to stop smoking and hes developed a nasty disposition (even snapping at our beloved Alice!). To compound this there is a student smoking on school grounds as well that refuses to stop despite being suspended by Mister Kaufman (his parents both smoke as well). This episode was made before science determined the danger of second hand smoke and the fact those exposed to it can get cancer as well. This episode of Room 222 pokes fun at addiction to sweets and tobacco but there is one chilling fact. There is a scene where Mister Dixon shows students a before and after photo of a lung with cancer. In real life Lloyd Haynes died of lung cancer at only 52.
