It makes you cough, it smells bad, it's expensive and it's the nation's number one killer. So, why would kids want any part of smoking? This program examines the reasons children are drawn to experimenting with cigarettes in the first place and why so many find that they are unable to stop once they've started. Kids will learn about the influence of peer pressure and tobacco company advertising, as well as the addictive nature of nicotine.

Special features: discussion questions & activities. Originally released in 1999 on videocassette.
