Research and write stories for the school newspaper about the social and health
consequences of smoking.
Hold a contest for the best stop-smoking creation: a poster, essay, song, debate, radio or
TV commercial, home video, editorial, poetry, slogan, banner, cartoon, joke, comedy routine, or
not-smoking pledge. Ask the school newspaper to cover tobacco issues, including health effects,
cost of using tobacco, social ramifications (it stinks), and the marketing practices of the tobacco
industry.
Produce a show for younger students in your community. Older students learn from writing and producing a
show while the younger kids learn from people they admire.
Encourage students to adopt their parents or loved ones who smoke. Students can promise to
provide moral support and keep a watchful eye on their charges that are trying to quit as part of the
Great American Smokeout.
