Take Charge - taking a stand

We have the right to take a stand on issues that are important to us. We can make a difference. We have a voice that needs to be heard.

What we can do:

  • Arrange a march at City Hall and wear black T-shirts to represent how many people die from smoking each year
  • Talk to City Council and say you want more smoke-free places.
  • Write letters to tobacco advertisers. They know that today's teens are tomorrow's profit.
  • Organize a boycott of stores that sell cigarettes to teens.
  • Ask your Student Council to invite health groups to your school to speak about smoking

Don't be a victim!

If you have been sucked into smoking, help others not get sucked into it.
