Get Youth Involved in Kick Butts Day

According to the 2008 Monitoring the Future survey, nearly 7 percent of 8th graders, 12.3 percent of 10th graders, and about 20 percent of 12th graders smoked cigarettes. Help reduce tobacco use by getting involved in national Kick Butts Day on March 24, 2010.

Kick Butts Day is a day of activism that empowers youth to take action against tobacco use at more than 2,000 events from coast to coast. Students from schools across the country hold different events and activities that call attention to the problems caused by Big Tobacco and its attempts to market to youth. Coalitions can get involved by organizing events and mobilizing youth to raise awareness about the problems of tobacco use in local schools and communities.
