Co-hosted by supermodel Tyra Banks, this highly recommended video from IN THE MIX tackles smoking prevention in a high energy, in-depth way that dispels common misconceptions among teens. Featured segments include a hard look at the addictive aspects of tobacco as well as the wide range of physical effects; profiles of teens who are kicking the habit; a profile of a young woman suffering from emphysema; and an ex-Lucky Strike cigarette model who has cancer. Raises awareness of how cigarette companies target teens and manipulate them into smoking.
