Whether you are smoking or vaping or chewing tobacco or someone you love is, I have made these videos to help people to quit smoking. The evidence is overwhelming that it is a healthy thing to do although I found out by making these documentaries that smoking cessation – quitting – is not easy. There are many organizations and many approaches to help and I have worked for some of them in order to create these videos. I am hopeful that they will help you or the person you love to either quit or not get started if you are a teenager, especially a teenage girl. Studies show that teenage girls are more likely to smoke cigarettes than teenage boys. You all know that tobacco is very addicting. Members of my family have smoked and I received a fair amount of secondhand smoke in my first marriage. I do have asthma today that I don't know if that is the cause. Good luck in your efforts David Hoffman filmmaker
I have made many movies in my long career. I started so long ago that they were made in 16 mm! This is a small sampling of my home videos largely made with my family or by me just, talking to the camera. Why do I call them home videos? Because there's no big issue discussed, no famous people in them, no belief by me that they will never be popular – but they are very important to my family as legacy. I believe that every family needs to record themselves like I do in order to create meaningful legacy. Meaningless legacy is going to a ski resort for example and filming the family going down the mountain. Meaningful legacy is hearing & seeing people talk and say how they feel and how they see things. Future generations will care about those issues but not about something as mundane as a description of an address in a town a relative once lived in. The "facts" will be forgotten, but not people being themselves speaking to a camera sharing the lives as I tell my family for we record, for the future- speaking to the future.
