Minnesota Smoking Prevention Program Complete Revised Curriculum

Now with a ""booster session"" for high school students, a community action manual, and a new Talking about Tobacco parent booklet, Minnesota Smoking Prevention Program is more effective than ever in helping young people turn the pressure to use tobacco into peer support for not using.

Smoking is the leading cause of preventable death in the United States, and each year thousands more preteens and teens become addicted to nicotine. MSPP, which targets students aged 9-13, is designed to: - help youth identify reasons kids smoke (peer pressure, advertising, lack of self-confidence
- introduce resistance skills that young people can really use
- emphasize peer leadership in facilitating classroom activities so students experience social support for resistance

In addition to six core components for students in grades 4-8, the expanded and updated MSPP includes: - a peer leadership guide
- a booster session for high school students
- a community action guide
- reproducible student handouts, Ids, and certificates
- one set of 30 parent booklets
- one facilitator's guide with a set of game posters
