Watertown Youth Coalition will be hosting a Tobacco 101 Youth Training on
Tuesday February 23rd from 2:30-4:30 in the WHS Café.

Tobacco 101 Youth Training

Photo Illustration by MIKE BURLEY Chewing tobacco is being marketed towards youths with a variety of flavors such as Berry Blend, Apple Blend, Citrus Blend, Peach Blend, and Vanilla Blend.

This training serves as an introduction to some of Big Tobacco’s sneaky tactics of making their products cheap, sweet, and easy to get. We will delve into the history behind the industry’s targeting of young people, how they do it, and why we should care. You will find your own personal connection to the issue, gain knowledge around Big Tobacco and tobacco products, and learn about what Youth can do about it! Refreshments will be provided.

Watertown High School, 50 Columbia St, Watertown, MA
