Eddie and felt very responsible for his starting to smoke. So she quit and from that Eddie quit too!

b) How do smokers hurt their families? Can you find examples in the Video?

Smokers hurt their families in three ways: 1) by setting a bad example for other family members, especially children 2) by exposing other family members to the "stink" and health hazards of second hand smoke (see "second hand smoking" on pg 28) and 3) by suffering and dying, on average, 15 years early (which occurs in 50% of long term smok-ers). It's very painful to worry that a loved family member who smokes may suffer and die early and then actually watch it happen.

In the Video, Daniel Burgoyne, a teenager, states, "I think about what's going to happen with my mother, (a smoker). In the next 10-20 years is she going to get something like cancer? Sometimes I'll have dreams about it or I'll imagine that I'm going to have to be there in the hospital when she's sick and it kinda worries me". (see Video Script pg 39).

In the Video, an anonymous patient is shown with cancer of the mouth which spread into his nose, sinuses and eye, horribly mutilating one side of his face. Imagine how his wife felt when she said, "Up there, that's where the cancer is coming back and that's caused from cigarettes". (see Video Script pg 42).

7. a) Can you define tobacco tolerance, tobacco addiction and tobacco withdrawal? Can you
find examples of each in the Video?

Tobacco tolerance is the need for increasing amounts of nicotine in tobacco to produce the same desired effect. It is the major reason occasional smokers become regular smok-ers. Thirty to fifty percent of kids who start smoking only occasionally become regular (daily) smokers.

Video Examples of Tobacco Tolerance: Brooke Bartlett (teenage smoker) "I always considered myself not addicted because I thought I could completely quit like cold turkey but, the last year, I would say, I've been a constant smoker…a pack a day". (see Video Script pgs 39-40).

Jason Mitchell Kahn: (teenage smoker) "I started socially (occasionally) smoking when I was about 13 in 8th grade and smoked that way all through high school and when I first started college it just hit me that I wasn't in control of the habit anymore!" (see Video Script pg 39).

Bill Stone: "I started smoking when I was in the military. And then it just kept getting worse and worse and worse". (see Video Script pgs 40-41).

Tobacco addiction is the uncontrolled dependence on and the uncontrolled use of to-bacco. On any given quit attempt, less than 5% of tobacco addicts successfully quit long term on their own. With comprehensive help, perhaps 25% successfully quit long term. Tobacco addicts smoke or chew for three reasons:
