BE A PART OF THE CHANGE
Do you wish your school and community was safer and healthier? Do you support living a tobacco-free lifestyle? Then, join youth from across Texas on April 1st for the 2024 Texas Tobacco-Free Kids Day (TTFKD), sponsored by the Texas Department of State Health Services (DSHS) and the Texas School Safety Center (TxSSC)!
Held in conjunction with Take Down Tobacco National Day of Action, sponsored by Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids, students all over Texas are organizing TTFKD activities to expose and combat Big Tobacco’s powerful marketing strategies aimed at youth. Did we mention youth aren’t even legally able to use their products??

So, register and report your event and be a part of the largest youth tobacco prevention awareness day in the country! Now get out there, activate change and make the world a better place.
