Tobacco Education Programs
|
The Arkansas Newspaper Foundation (ANF) has long been involved with Tobacco Education Programs, such as Stamp Out Smoking (SOS), working with the media and public education campaigns to drive down youth smoking rates. Cigarette smoking among high school students in Arkansas has declined from 43.2 percent in 1997 to 20.7 percent in 2007. Through participation in contests such as the SOS coloring contest, “The Big Pitch” drama contest and the Healthy Hero essay contest, or in youth advocacy groups such as the Youth Extinguishing Smoking Team, Arkansas youth are helping change social and behavioral norms. Selected winners of the 2010 Stamp Out Smoking Coloring Contest are pictured at right (click them to see larger versions). For a complete list of winners and the full news release, click here. |
