The moving story of Sean Marsee, a promising high school track star who became addicted to chewing tobacco, and died of mouth and jaw cancer at 19. Heartbreaking before-and-after photos.

A unique initiation whose message is that life will bring problems, and when difficult moments come, don't escape them by using tobacco, drugs, or alcohol, or diversions like food, music, or work. Stay with the problem, and talk to others about it -- a trusted teacher, your parents, friends, the school counselor. Take steps to solve it.

Mr. Reynolds believes that teen doubts about the future are a significant factor in youth smoking and drug rates. He includes a section near the end aiming to strengthen their faith in the years ahead, saying, "There are wondrous times before us, and you'll need your health, every precious bit of it, in the incredible years ahead. So avoid tobacco, alcohol and drugs -- because the future is looking amazing."

A closing promise: a society free of tobacco, and free of the death and disease it causes. "It will come because of you, and the responsible choices you make."

Divided into two parts, 20 minutes and 18 minutes, to allow time for family discussion after each part.
