THIS IS A TIME OF CHANGE, FOR MIDDLE-SCHOOL STUDENTS--WHEN THEY START FORMING THEIR OWN IDENTITIES, AND WANT TO MAKE THEIR OWN DECISIONS. THERE'S A FREE PROGRAM THAT HELPS STUDENTS MAKE THE RIGHT DECISIONS EARLY ON--LIKE AVOIDING TOBACCO-USE. FUNDED BY "R-J REYNOLDS", "RIGHT DECISIONS, RIGHT NOW: BE TOBACCO-FREE" IS AN EVIDENCE-BASED, ONLINE PROGRAM THAT EDUCATES YOUTH ABOUT THE DANGERS OF TOBACCO-USE--AND EQUIPS THEM WITH GOOD DECISION-MAKING SKILLS, FOR A HEALTHY LIFESTYLE. MIDDLE-SCHOOLS ACROSS THE COUNTRY--AS WELL AS PARENTS AND YOUTH-GROUPS--HAVE USED THE PROGRAM SINCE IT WAS CREATED, OVER 20 YEARS AGO. THROUGH TEACHER-GUIDES, VIDEOS, AND QUIZZES, EDUCATORS HELP STUDENTS DEVELOP SKILLS IN ASSERTIVENESS, GOAL-SETTING, AND PROBLEM-SOLVING. SUCH PROGRAMS HAVE HAD A BIG IMPACT, IN REDUCING TEEN-SMOKING. EVEN SO, MORE CAN BE DONE--TO ACCELERATE THE DECLINE IN YOUTH TOBACCO-USE. TO LEARN MORE ABOUT THIS PROGRAM, VISIT "RIGHT-DECISIONS-RIGHT-NOW"-DOT-COM.
