CHICAGO (AP) — Two Chicago teens have won awards for producing anti-tobacco commercials that will air locally on TV and radio this summer.
The announcement comes from the Chicago Tobacco Prevention Project.
The winners are 15-year-old Jennifer Sansone from De La Salle Institute and Miguel Ruiz, an 18-year-old at Kelly High School.
They were among more than 150 teens who entered the "Share the Truth" contest. It offered teens the chance to make a 30-second TV or radio commercial about the dangers of tobacco and smoking.
Sansone's radio commercial describes how her grandmother died due to tobacco-related illness.
Ruiz's TV commercial closes with, "Don't let smoking take your life away."
