AHS is participating in World No Tobacco Day to raise awareness about the addictive properties and dangers that nicotine can cause in young people, including chronic lung disease and long-term memory issues.

Parents, guardians and educators are invited to check out the resources AHS has gathered, such as the Be Tobacco Smart booklet for students grades K-3, Behind the Haze, and the addiction helpline.
