Health Edco is another catalog that has a LOT of posters, models, activities etc. to choose from.  You will have to choose what your comfort level is-- how graphic/gross you want to be...

The advice we got from other folks when developing our tobacco exhibit (small grant from county organization) was to put it in the context of the human body- so instead of just anti-smoking posters and models of tarry lungs, we added some other posters about skin, blood etc, and take-apart models of the eye and ear, and a skeleton with parts to velcro to a wall.  We also have one activity in this area--  blowing thru a straw to simulate what it is like to breathe with lung disease.  Kids get engaged in the things that are
interactive, and then some take a look at the posters and displays.  Older kids will read the posters.
