"Designed for a junior high school audience, this film is about youngsters who have made up their minds not to smoke. They discuss experiences they have had with cigarette smoking, the pressure from peers to acquire the habit, and the difficulties encountered by relatives who want to quit. 'The best way to stop smoking,' concludes the film, 'is never to start.'"

Library and Archives Canada: 16mm, VHS.
"Anti-smoking film using dramatizations in which children try to pressure other children to smoke, a 12-year-old girl who has to clean out her parents' ashtrays, boys and girls who talk about why they do not want to smoke, and a man who advises a girl never to start smoking."
