3. Target Population
Primary Target:
Adolescent smokers and non-smokers (ages 11-24)
Characteristically, these are the years when beginner smokers pick up their first cigarette, and we want to use a pre-emptive

Secondary Target:
Parents/ Guardians of Adolescents
Older individuals can make a large impact on how adolescents view tobacco use.

When the
urge to smoke
comes, chew
a piece of
gum instead.
Holding a
pencil pen in
your hand, can
satisfy that
instinctual need of
having a cigarette.
By hanging out
in places where
smoking is not
allowed, you
can prevent a
relapse.
Increasing physical
activity will help curb
the urge to smoke.
As it promotes a
healthier -
lifestyle.
