Terrie Hall
Terrie Hall was a woman who became famous for something that happened to her because she smoked cigarettes. She was about 51 years old and had been smoking since she was a teenager. She was a very nice lady who had a wonderful family and lots of friends, but she got really sick because of smoking.
The smoke from cigarettes has a lot of really bad chemicals in it that can hurt your body. Terrie didn't know that when she was younger, and she thought smoking was cool or fun. But after a while, her body started to not work as well as it used to. Her body had trouble breathing because all that smoke made it hard for her lungs to get enough air.
Terrie also got cancer, which is a really bad sickness that can happen when your cells (tiny parts of your body that help it work) start to grow out of control. The cancer started in her throat, which made it even harder for her to breathe and talk. She had to go to the hospital a lot and take medicine that made her feel really sick.
But Terrie didn't give up. She wanted to help other people learn from her mistake and not smoke cigarettes. She made a lot of commercials where she talked about how much trouble she was having because of smoking. She looked really different in those commercials than in the pictures of her from before - she didn't have any hair and looked really thin because it was really hard for her body to handle all the bad things smoking did to it.
Terrie's commercials were really important because they helped people see what smoking can do to your body. A lot of people watched her and decided to quit smoking so they wouldn't end up like her. Even though she was really sick, Terrie wanted to make sure other people didn't make the same mistake she did.
