Kick Butts Day 2013!

Today, March 20, 2013, is Kick Butts Day! Kick Butts Day is a national day of activism that empowers youth to stand out, speak up and seize control against Big Tobacco.  The tobacco industry spends almost $1 million every hour on advertisements for its tobacco products.  It's up to each of us to fight the heavy influence of big tobacco by making a stand against unhealthy tobacco use!  You can fight tobacco by...

• refusing to buy any tobacco products
• encouraging friends and family members to quit, or not begin, tobacco use
• educating yourself and others about the dangers and health risks associated with tobacco use
• encouraging others to think before falling victim to the persuading advertisements made by big tobacco companies 
• making your home or living space a tobacco free area
• avoiding areas where tobacco use is likely to occur
