What to Do
- Have the group brainstorm about the pressures that exist to begin smoking.
- Distribute all supplies to the group.
- Have each member find and cut out any tobacco advertisements and/or words that come to mind when they think of smoking. Have the group consider the pressures to smoke and what advertisers want teens to think about smoking.
- Members can make a collage using the construction paper, tape, and magazine pieces.
- Have group members split into small groups of four or five students and discuss their collages. Students then describe the message they think the picture is telling them about smoking.
