Find us on Facebook! Tobacco Prevention Tips For Youth Outsmart tobacco company advertisers--know the facts behind their slick invitations to smoke or dip. Stay healthy and protect the health of your family by choosing to live smoke-free. Be strong--Refuse cigarettes or spit tobacco even when offered by friends or relatives. If you smoke or dip--Quit! Involve your family in the process by talking to them about why you’re quitting and by asking for their help. Set a date and tell everyone you’re quitting. Exercise to relieve stress. Stay away from situations in which you’ll be tempted. If you mess up, be courageous —try again! For Adult Relatives Be a good role model. Stay smoke-free and avoid giving commercial tobacco products to young people. Get informed about the harmful effects of smoking, dipping, and secondhand smoke so you can educate the young people in your family. If your tribe has a history of using traditional tobacco, teach the young people how it has been used in a good way and encourage them to respect tobacco by avoiding its non-sacred use. Support young people who want to quit. Go cold turkey as a family or participate in a cessation program together.
