Teens with the BEAT
          The TEENS WITH THE BEAT are youth-based groups that work to reduce tobacco use in their schools and communities. Each TWTB group receives an 8-hour training on the history of tobacco, the dangers of tobacco and secondhand smoke, youth leadership and peer-to-peer advocacy, and drug and alcohol abuse prevention. Each group elects a president, vice-president and secretary as key leaders. TWTB develop and implement activities for their schools and communities and take part in BEAT Tobacco Control events like Kick Tobacco Day Carnival and the World No Tobacco Day block party. Below are photos of different TWTB groups and events.
