THIS IS A GREAT TIME FOR NEW-YEAR'S RESOLUTIONS--AND THAT CAN INCLUDE HELPING TO REDUCE YOUTH TOBACCO-USE. THERE'S A FREE EDUCATION-PROGRAM--CALLED "RIGHT DECISIONS, RIGHT NOW"--THAT ANYONE CAN USE, TO HELP YOUNG PEOPLE MAKE THE RIGHT DECISIONS, EARLY ON--LIKE AVOIDING TOBACCO-USE. THE PROGRAM--WHICH IS FUNDED BY "R-J REYNOLDS"--CELEBRATES ITS 25TH ANNIVERSARY, THIS YEAR. BUT, THE MESSAGE IS STILL THE SAME: STUDENTS IN MIDDLE- AND HIGH-SCHOOLS CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN THEIR LIVES, TODAY--BY SAYING "NO" TO E-CIGARETTES AND ANY FORMS OF TOBACCO. MANY SCHOOLS, ACROSS THE COUNTRY--AS WELL AS PARENTS AND YOUTH-LEADERS--HAVE USED "RIGHT DECISIONS, RIGHT NOW". THROUGH THE PROGRAM'S VIDEOS, QUIZZES, AND TEACHER-GUIDES, ADULTS HELP STUDENTS DEVELOP SKILLS IN ASSERTIVENESS, GOAL-SETTING, AND PROBLEM-SOLVING. SUCH PROGRAMS HAVE HAD A BIG IMPACT IN REDUCING TEEN-SMOKING. EVEN SO, THE COMPANY BELIEVES THAT MORE CAN BE DONE--TO ACCELERATE THE DECLINE IN YOUTH TOBACCO-USE.
