Casting real stories... (Deadline: Oct. 15)

Have you been affected by a family member's smoking or have you helped a family member quit? We want to hear about it!

The Massachusetts Department of Public Health is looking for these kinds of stories for a new campaign:

* How has a family member's smoking impacted you and your family?
* Have you had any success in influencing adults in your life to make the decision to quit? What's worked? What hasn't?
* How have you helped support a family member during the quit process? Were they grouchy? How did you help them cope?

If you have any or all of these stories to share, hit us up. Your story may be featured in an upcoming campaign that will help other kids help their family members quit!

Email your story or submit a short video by Oct. 15 to TobaccoStories@aim.com or hit us up on AOL Instant Messenger (SN: TobaccoStories). Make sure you give us your name, a way to contact you, and let us know what city you're from.


* Geovision, a Massachusetts-based ad agency, is collecting stories on behalf of the Massachusetts Department of Public Health.
