After hearing this presentation this is what someone had to say:

"It was time to teach kids and their parents about the dangers of tobacco. There was no better way to teach them, but through someone who grew up in an environment that was tobacco friendly. This person knew all about the dangers that tobacco cause. This person is a witness to secondhand smoke and lost his mother to lung cancer because of the dangers caused by tobacco.

Derrick Hayes caught kids and parents attention when he began telling his own personal experience with tobacco. Derrick Hayes engaged kids and parents by expressing that if you think positively you can do anything you put your mind to, but you must believe in yourself.

He delivered a motto called Never Never pick it up, Always put it down. Through this motto he explained that if you never pick up a bad habit you don't have to worry about putting it down. This saying lives in Haywood County today. Derrick Hayes words will not be forgotten in Haywood County."
