Overview Get Real About Tobacco Do-It-Yourself How to Register Customer Service Survey

 

Get Real About Tobacco

Kindergarten through third grade.


Get Real About Tobacco uses research-based curriculum which follows recommendations made by the Center For Disease Control for age-specific school health programs to prevent tobacco use.

Module 1:

  • Through visual aids of actual tobacco products, reading, and interactive activities the children will learn the negative and dangerous effects tobacco has on their body.

Module 2:

  • Allows children to see the tricks tobacco companies use in their advertising. Interactive activities and drawing will be incorporated so children will practice how to resist pro-tobacco messages.

Module 3:

  • Children will be able to identify troublesome situations and use self-control to stay out of trouble. They are taught to use refusal skills such as:
    1. Say no
    2. Walk away.
    3. Tell a grown up.
