COUNTERBALANCE
The tobacco industry spends an average of $37 MILLION per day to promote their products. Tobacco ads in gas stations and convenience stores are sometimes posted at 4 feet tall, eye level for a 10-year-old child, and tobacco products are still promoted near schools, playgrounds, and parks. It's time to take tobacco ads out of places they don't belong.
Y-Sters are making their friends, family, and community members aware of the impact of tobacco advertising on youth smoking rates, and garnering their support to protect youth from tobacco advertising. Learn more at CounterBalanceVA.com.

MELTDOWN
It's common knowledge that tobacco kills. Most people think about cigarettes, cigars, and chew when they think about tobacco. That's all changed with the roll out of many new smokeless and spit-free new tobacco products that literally melt in the mouth.
The Meltdown Campaign is about exposing these new tobacco products to the public. The way the new products are flavored, packaged, and marketed make it seem like they would be more appealing to youth. Y St. members are collecting surveys to see what people think of the new products and spreading the word by getting people to check out MeltDownVA.com.
