Presentations

LAYFTC members give presentations on flavored tobacco products to raise awareness on tobacco control issues. Our members attend middle schools to college universities to present to parents and youth. We also give out resources for quitting, how. to talk to your child if they smoke, and LAYFTC materials.

In an effort to show the community and City Council members of the impact of smoking in their school and neighborhood, students of Vista Charter Middle School created an art canvas for their message. The colored smoke monster represents all the different and colorful flavors of flavored tobacco and how unsuspecting it seems to the average student trying to be cool and "fit in".
