You spend almost a third of your waking time in school.
Why not use that time to fight back against Big Tobacco?
The tobacco industry addicts more than 1,000 youth every day. They are targeting YOU and your friends with their deceptive advertising and marketing.
In the 7 hours you spend at school, Big Tobacco spends more than $10 million trying to get you to use their deadly products.
Now that school is back in session, you can educate your peers about Big Tobacco's lies and empower them to STAND OUT, SPEAK UP, and SEIZE CONTROL against Big Tobacco!
So take advantage of your time in school and organize an in-school activity that will make a huge difference in our fight against Big Tobacco.
