Introduction:
One of your best friends has a brother,  Silly Joe, who is in 6th grade.  You suspect he has been smoking or is about to start smoking. Although his teachers and parents tell him how bad smoking can be, he thinks smoking is cool! After all, he sees lots of people smoking and figures it isn't really so bad.  But... he might listen to you. After all, you're almost his age.  That's what your friend Moby is counting on. He has asked you and your friends to convince his brother to quit smoking. To do so, you must create a  message that he will listen to. Do a good job - it could be a matter of life and death.
