Gettin' Real on Reel! - Featuring Tobacco Free Youth
A Youth-Produced Film Shorts Contest

Here are some alternatives to tobacco …
- Rather than blowing my money on buying cigarettes, I'd rather use it to go out to the movies and hang out with my friends.

- As a teen, I love my independence! I get to learn to drive, go out with my friends on my own, and start thinking about going away to college. So, the last thing I want to be dependent on is a cigarette addiction!

- Smoking can cause shortness of breath, so my friends and I don't smoke so that we can keep beating each other on the basketball court! Real ballers don't smoke!

- I'm smarter than that! I know tobacco companies spend billions of dollars to try and manipulate my friends and me to smoke, but we're not falling for their lies!

- Who wants to have bad breath and yellow teeth by the age of 18?! Not me!

You can use these ideas or come up with your own! We want you to be as creative as you can to give YOUR unique view on why you choose to live tobacco-free!
