  • It's a great learning experience
  • Meet new people, make new friends
  • Because you're a frontiersman, a rebel, a pioneer, an achiever
  • See the results of your actions - it's very rewarding
  • Practice for adulthood
  • You're not scared to make a difference
  • You refuse to be a sucker to tobacco ads and promotions
  • You're helping to save lives
  • It feels great to help others
  • It's important to let everyone know why smoking is not a wise choice
  • When your generation becomes older, there might not be enough social security for everyone because so much of the money will be used to pay for tobacco related illnesses
  • Most people don't know the TRUTH about tobacco. It is crucial that people know, because if they do, it would give them more motivation to quit.
