As a Tobacco Educator, Debi does not preach right and wrong or good and bad, tell you that you must stop smoking, or never start. Instead, she makes sure that her audiences of young people and adults alike know that it is your beliefs that guide your choices, your choices that guide your actions, and your actions that lead to your consequences. You know Debi as the person who appears in the first “in your face” tobacco education Public Service Announcement to be aired on televisions worldwide. As a cancer survivor, Debi speaks with authenticity about her personal choices and how they led to the difficult life she leads now and shares with you authoritatively what you must do to ensure a different outcome in your life and in the lives of people you care about. After her talk, you’ll be able to move effortlessly from life-threatening choices to life-affirming actions. When you have Debi speak in your schools, community centers, civic groups, business alliances and professional associations, you will learn:
- Who is responsible for your community and personal health and how to influence them to act
- Why “moralizing” never works to keep kids (and adults) from smoking and what does work
- How and why to never start smoking
- When to stop smoking (if you already do) and how to stop effortlessly
- How to easily avoid common mistakes that will lead to illness, disability, or death
- How to act responsibly in the face of peer pressure whether you are a youth, a teen, or an adult
- How knowing about choices, actions, and consequences can change your life for the better every way…
You will also learn:
- What tobacco companies still don’t want you to know about their products, and why you must know these things if you want to live a healthy life
- How what you don’t know about tobacco companies is killing people and destroying cultures around the world and how your life and your pocketbook are being personally affected by these injustices…
