According to Campaign for Tobacco Free Kids, 19,800 kids will become new daily smokers each year. Smoking kills more people than alcohol, AIDS, car crashes, illegal drugs, murders, and suicides combined – and thousands more die from other-related causes – such as fires caused by smoking and smokeless tobacco use.
88 Floridians die each day from tobacco related deaths. Contact the Florida Quitline at 1-877-822-6669 (1-877-U-CAN-NOW ) when you need a helping hand to quit.
This contest sponsors are The American Cancer Society, Hillsborough County Anti-Drug Alliance, Tobacco Free Partnership of Hillsborough County, Weisser Family Foundation, and the Florida Quitline.

SWAT Legislative Task Force
Andre Martins and Kayla Opperman, from Alonso High School, along with Jonathan Walcheski, from Newsome High School, presented to the Hillsborough County Legislative Delegation on December 14, 2010. The students educated the Delegation members on the importance of SWAT, and on the serious issues of flavored tobacco products.
While Kayla and Jonathan spoke, Andre carried a basket of flavored tobacco products around to each of the Senators and House Representatives in attendance, so they could experience the powerful aroma of flavored tobacco products that entice and allure youth.
These students, who are members of the SWAT Legislative Task Force, were very well received by the Delegation members, who thanked the students for updating and educating them.
