Is It Worth It?

Subject Area: Health, Media Literacy, Language Arts

Made Possible By: A grant from CVS Health to the Campaign for Tobacco Free Kids and developed in partnership with the National Association of School Nurses

Take action to reverse the rising use of e-cigarettes among tweens and teens with lesson plans that provide students with facts about the health dangers of all nicotine and tobacco products, including e-cigarettes, and expose the misinformation they may see in e-cigarette advertising. Students practice resisting peer pressure and work with a special toolkit to launch a peer-to-peer campaign against nicotine and tobacco. This bilingual (English and Spanish) program also includes a take-home letter to engage parents.
