Tobacco Prevention Programs
Youth Tobacco Use Prevention Programs
SFTM is a smoking prevention program presented in the classroom to 2nd and 4th grade students. Students learn about the harmful health affects of tobacco, that tobacco companies don't tell the truth in tobacco ads, and how to deal with peer pressure to smoke. Students sign a class contract pledging not to smoke. SFTM was developed by the American Lung Association.
