I made this film in the 1980s with the support of the American Lung Association to encourage high school girls not to begin to smoke tobacco. The film aired on public television (PBS) in the prime time. At the time, smoking by high school girls was on the rise and no educational program seem to be preventing girls from experimenting with cigarettes. The film was shown in thousands of high schools across the USA. I saw no statistics on how successful it was but we were all hopeful that it would reduce tobacco smoking among high school girls.
