Paying A Price: Starmount students see firsthand the harm that tobacco and cancer can do
Gruen VonBehrens made no apologies for his disfigured face as he walked up to the microphone yesterday to speak to students at Starmount High School. "Tobacco did this to me," said VonBehrens, who started chewing tobacco at 13 and at 17 had his tongue and part of his mouth removed because of cancer.
"Guys, this is the face of tobacco," he said. "How many times have you seen a face like this in a magazine advertising Skoal?"
His story brought tears and long looks inside the gymnasium
