Oral cancer survivor, Gruen Von Behrens turned his life into a lesson for young people.
Von Behrens started chewing dip at age 13 and later discovered a blister in his mouth. He knew he had an emergency when his tongue began to split.
After years of surgeries and radiation, Von Behrens travels all over the country to speak at schools to educate people on the dangers of chewing tobacco.
He says he will continue to speak on the behalf of young people and warn them about tobacco products.
