This summer we will be providing tobacco education with the Kiwanis Fresh Air Camp, YMCA, and Boys and Girls Clubas. The average age of smoking initiation amongst youth is 12 years old. It is important that we teach the dangers of tobacco use as early as possible to prevent the initiation of tobacco use. We are using the evidence-based curriculum, Project Towards No Tobacco Use. The skills they will learn from this program will not only teach refusal skills against tobacco, but it will also help the kids refuse other destructive decisions.
