Tobacco reduction programs

The Alberta Lung Association sponsors a program called BLAST, which aims at developing student leaders in schools. After attending a weekend conference in the fall, student leaders then plan activities for the school year aimed at eliminating tobacco use by youth. This leadership project requires 4 students, an adult coach, and several months of commitment, but it has the potential to be a life-changing project.
