This 10-week course of 1-hour weekly classes is designed to help youth reach cessation with all tobacco-related habits involving cigarettes, chew, and smokeless tobacco products. In addition to educating youth about the risks of smoking or ingesting nicotine, the course includes life-skills management that can help reduce stress and increase health. Approved by the American Lung Association, the course helps students to learn about addictive behaviors, to gain control over making decisions, and to quit smoking by week five, the mid-point of the course.
