Please. Don't. Smoke.

From Stephanie Prommer, About.com GuideMay 2, 2010

Follow me on:

I'm not here to preach or anything, I'm just saying: 2010 marks the ten-year anniversary of the country's most successful youth smoking prevention campaign -- truth®.

The campaign exposes the tactics of the tobacco industry, the truth about addiction, and
the health effects and social consequences of smoking - allowing teens to make informed choices about tobacco use.

They've also created a fab line of gear that will be given away during the truth® summer 2010 tour. Here are some of the items to be on the lookout for:

Mothtank

The 'Moth shirt' (pictured, above) is meant to explain that the same stuff that's in mothballs, naphthalane, is also in cigarette smoke.

Karmatank

Their 'Karma tee' serves as a reminder that bad things can happen to people (like tobacco execs, for example) who do bad things.

Chemicalbag

The 'Chemical bag' features cartoon versions of formaldehyde & vinyl chloride - two of the over 4,000 chemical compounds in tobacco smoke.

If you don't wanna wait for this new stuff, you can always buy some other cool gear items at the truth® store.
