Teens Against Tobacco Use (TATU) - TATU is a tobacco
peer education program designed to help teens develop strong leadership skills while influencing younger children to live tobacco-free lifestyles.  TATU groups are formed on an organizational basis.  Youth are trained to be peer educators by learning the necessary skills to give informational and interactive presentations to their peers.   As a result of being a TATU member, students:

• Understand their vital role in shaping 
  the attitudes of young children

• Increase their self-confidence and 
  self-esteem through community 
  service as teachers and advocates.

• Gain experience and leadership skills 
  that will help them as adults.

TATU groups are for middle school and high school ages, and can be implemented in a number of places, including schools, YMCA/YWCA, community centers/after-school programs, Girl/Boy Scouts, police youth organizations, church youth groups.
