Smoke Screening - An Interactive Tobacco Education Tool for Northern Students!

Written by  Smoke Screening 8 and the Nunavut Department of Health and Social Services

What is Smoke Screening?

Smoke Screening is a tobacco education media awareness activity for grades 6-12 in Nunavut, Northwest Territory and Yukon. Students view 13 of the best tobacco education ads from around the world and select the one they feel is most effective. Viewing the ads usually initiates great classroom discussions. This year it has two components: Smoke Screening (Ad Viewing and Voting) and Get Reel (Video Creation)

Why use the program?

Tobacco use continues to be high amongst youth across the three territories, well above the national average.

Students love it. Learning through advertisements is not only fun, by the ads are different each year and the program serves as a strong visual reminder for students of the harmful effects of tobacco use. The ads generate good classroom discussion.

It's easy for teachers. The Smoke Screening program takes 30 - 60 minutes to run (depending on discussion time) and includes all the materials required.

New this year: GET REEL - An AD competition where students make their own anti-tobacco ads.

iPod Touches available for early registrants!
