Mr McNally 4/12/2019 10:04 AMVijan. Your posts need to be detailed. Use the CER protocol to help with this. So, for example if your claim is "Smoke (from cooking fires) decreases the body's oxygen supply", then you need to elaborate on that and make it clear in your writing. Read this article from the World Health Organization (WHO) to get some evidence to support your claim:
