Teens Against Tobacco Use ® (T.A.T.U.) is a youth empowerment program teaching teens to fight back against tobacco use. Essentially, we turn teens into teachers. Recent focus groups have shown that teens are eager to talk to younger kids about tobacco use. Younger children are impressed by teenage role models and enthusiastically understand and accept the information which they are presented. By encouraging & supporting the T.A.T.U. program in your school, you will be making a huge step in preventing today's youth from becoming tomorrow's tobacco users.
