It started in fifth grade. More than 500 people quit.

In fifth grade I started speaking out against tobacco addiction. The feedback was kind, so I kept going. Over eight years, more than 1,000 people battling tobacco and cigarette addiction took part, and more than 500 of them quit. The quitting was theirs.
