Tobacco Reduction Programs for Students
TAP/TEG
The Tobacco Education Group (TEG) is a program for students who have been caught in violation of school rules on tobacco use. TEG provides a positive alternative to supervision or citation, and gives students the knowledge, motivation and action steps to make good decisions about tobacco use. It offers suggestions on how to cut down on their use, quit on their own, or join a voluntary tobacco cessation program.
The Tobacco Awareness Program (TAP) is a voluntary, comprehensive tobacco cessation program. Students who want to quit using tobacco are guided through their quitting options, and supported as they implement their personal plan to stay tobacco-free.
Both TEG and TAP are research-based, award-winning programs that have been proven successful.

Towards No Tobacco Use (Project TNT) is a program based on the concept that young people will be able to resist tobacco products if they:
Are aware of misleading social information that facilitates tobacco use (e.g. advertising, inflating prevalence estimates).
Have skills that counteract the social pressures to achieve approval by using tobacco.
Appreciate the physical consequences that tobacco use may have on their own lives (e.g. the beginnings of addiction).
The nationally acclaimed Project TNT counteracts different causes of tobacco use simultaneously because the behavior is determined by multiple causes. This comprehensive approach is well suited to a wide variety of youth who may differ in risk factors that influence their tobacco use.
