Up in Smoke

Each day nearly 4,000 young people make the decision to try a cigarette. Since smoking kills over 480,000 people each year, Up in Smoke strives to prevent children from making that choice as they are exposed to sobering facts that reveal the habit's impact on health, finances and quality of life.

When through, kids will have many great reasons not to smoke! (This program is not appropriate for children under 3rd grade.)
