Resources For Schools
To keep kids from smoking, you have to start early. Studies show that 80 percent of adults who smoke began smoking before the age of 18. But reaching kids involves more than "just say no." The American Lung Association of Colorado offers the following tools and resources for nipping tobacco addiction in the bud.

Breathing Lung Exhibit
The Breathing Lung Exhibit teaches a valuable lesson about the dangers of smoking that kids will remember the rest of their lives. Ideal for elementary school students, science or health classes, or health fairs.

N-O-T Teen Smoking Cessation
N-O-T is a highly effective, scientifically proven program offered in high schools to help teens quit smoking. The American Lung Association provides funding for incentives and a stipend for teachers and counselors who implement the N-O-T program at their high schools.
