Can peer pressure get musician John Mellencamp to quit smoking? His 14-year-old son hopes so. Speck Mellencamp made a deal with his father that if 1 million people join a Facebook page he created, then the elder Mellencamp will kick the habit.
Speck tells NPR's Scott Simon that when they agreed to the deal, his father never thought that many people would join.
"He told me he thought it was just gonna be a couple of my friends who joined the group," Speck says.
At the time of the interview with Simon, there were nearly 200,000 members.
Speck says his father, a longtime smoker, has tried to quit smoking, but hasn't been able to do it for more than a couple of weeks.
"I think he would like to [quit]," Speck says, "but I just don't think he ever had the willpower to."
The difference now may be having such a huge audience.
"He says if a million people [join the group] and then somebody sees him [smoking], he'll seem like the bad guy," Speck says. "So he kinda has to [quit]."
Other members of the Facebook group have said they, too, will quit if 1 million people join.
"I've had lots of people tell me about stories of loved ones and friends that have died from lung cancer and smoking-related stuff," Speck says.
There's no deadline on the deal. Dad just has to quit when the page gets a million members. So these days when his father lights up, Speck tells him to enjoy it now.
