THE “REAL COST”: 3 IN FOUR ADOLESCENTS THINK THEY WILL STOP SMOKING AND DON'T!
Imagined by the FDA, the American health authority, One Leaves is a video game that targets potential smokers by showing them the dangers of tobacco, the risks they face. The players are in a kind of hangar with several other people. Only 1 character on 4 can get out of there unscathed. A figure related to US statistics. The 3 / 4 students who start smoking in the United States continue when they are adults.
