choices for themselves. Few people realise that smoking can cause tongue and throat cancer.
This film looks at the consequences of smoking and follows an operation
to remove a smoker’s tongue.
2. Family Habit
Teenage smokers are under the impression that it’s easy to give up – they
could do it any time if they wanted to. Not true. It’s as hard for them
to give up as it is for their mum or dad with a 20-year habit. We set a
challenge: can a teenager AND their mum give up?
3. Greg’s Story
Greg is sixteen. He dreams of being a top tennis player. He goes to
school, has a younger sister and a dog. He’s just like anyone else his age,
except that when he was 11 he found out that he had cancer. Greg’s utter
disbelief that ANYONE would choose to risk going through what he has
experienced first-hand is a powerful reminder that life is full of hidden
dangers, and that some risks just aren’t worth taking.
4. Breath of Fresh Air
Every year the tobacco companies need to recruit 450,000 new smokers
to replace those lost through illness and death – and these new smokers
need to be young. This film juxtaposes cigarette commercials and
testimonials from tobacco industry executives with the experience of
someone who fell for their marketing strategies – Alec – a man who now
talks through a stoma hole in his neck after smoking gave him cancer.
