Tobacco Prevention Series
How I Quit Smoking and Saved My Life (#102)
Viewers follow Jenny, a typical teenager who is trying to quit smoking. Through Jenny's eyes we learn just how hard it is for her and other teens to break their addiction to both nicotine and the smoking culture they unwittingly adopted. Sure to encourage a lively debate in your classroom, this is not a video that turns smokers into villains; rather it offers them an encouraging message of hope when it comes to breaking the addiction. At the same time, non-smokers will learn how important their support can be to friends who are trying to quit.
