expose the tobacco industry and their manipulation of youth through sharing of the
uncensored and unfiltered facts. They do not give you health messages. They rebel
against the tobacco industry's lies and manipulation.

This new youth driven site is sponsored by the Goverment of Ontario. STUPID.CA

youth how the industry manipulates them and the effects that smoking can have.
The ministry of Health in British Columbia put this site together. The site looks at media and its impact when it comes to smoking. There's an online magazine about tobacco and information to the 'Kick the Nic' campaign.
Teens created this edgy - looking site that uses a lot of interactive information using flash technology and video presentations. It's educational and fun, and helps you make informed decisions and evaluate and manage outside pressures (e.g. Advertising). Great ideas on how teens fight back.
Truth uses a lot of inside information about just how far the tobacco industry will go to get your money in their pockets. Great examples of some very involved teens.
Tobacco Resource Action Centre for youth with the assistance of the Thunder Bay District Health Unit. Very good information and examples of projects that youth have done.
