Nicotine: Just Say kNOw DVD is a great Tobacco Prevention program for Great American Smoke-Out or Red Ribbon Week

If you smoke a cigarette, you introduce yourself to drugs; if you use nicotine, a “gateway drug”, chances are that your “experiment” could lead to the use of other dangerous smoking drugs, and it will be very tough to quit once you’ve started.  Former drug users report that nicotine is the hardest drug of all to quit.  Dr. Tracey Wallace, F.P. shares hard facts about the physical dangers that young nicotine users face.  Describes the dynamics of addiction, tolerance, and withdrawal, explaining that nicotine use actually changes one’s brain chemistry.  He tells about treating young patients with lung cancer and reinforces that nicotine is a highly addictive drug that hooks you, while the chemicals contained in tobacco kill you.  Using tobacco means being addicted, living under the influence of a drug, and forming habits that can affect them forever.  11 min VHS with Presenter’s Resource Guidebook.  Grades 5-9
