Tobacco Road: A Dead End

Sixty percent of current tobacco users begin by age 14 and ninety percent by the age of 18. Why are these teenagers deliberately beginning a habit that will sooner or later take their lives? This program graphically exposes the higher occurrences of lung cancer, emphysema, heart disease and vascular disease directly attributed to long-term tobacco use. Contains explicit operating room scenes of portions of a cancerous lung being removed. It is guaranteed to stir the emotions of individuals who refuse to heed the warnings of medical professionals and continue to abuse tobacco related products. Contains significant overlapping footage from the "Truth About Tobacco". Finalist at the 1994 International Health & Medical Film Festival.
