Two groups of teens from the Blackfoot/Bingham County Youth Coalition presented their plan to make use of tobacco products by anyone on school grounds an infraction carrying a $100 fine to two city councils, two school boards, and finally got it passed by the Bingham County Commissioners. This is the first effort of its kind - this group is paving the way for others!
Marsing Health Education students got e-cigarrettes added to their district smoke free campus policy. Nicely done Marsing!
Groups in Boundary County and Middleton worked to raise awareness of and support for Tobacco 21 which would raise the legal age to purchase tobacco to 21. Let's make it happen!
The Lewiston Youth Advisory Commission worked with the City Council to pass the City of Lewiston Smoke Free Ordinance making all parks within the city limits smokefree. Have a look at their amazing PSA! At the end, you'll see a few of the students that helped make this happen. Way to go Lewiston!
