4-U-N-I Inspires Teens to Quit Smoking

Smoking Cessation Program for Teens is a Beverly Hills High School - BREATHE LA partnership founded by students. The first Beverly Hills High School Chapter of 4-U-N-I ( text = For You And I ) is a student-led, BREATHE LA supported, youth tobacco cessation initiative designed to inspire, support, and assist youth to quit smoking.

4-U-N-I founders Chetana Singh (Left) and Wendy Wang (Right) meet BREATHE LA Board Chair Michael Arlen at December 2007 Board Meeting.

4-U-N-I planned projects include production of a 15 minute film highlighting the dangers of smoking and a teen-to-teen quit tobacco mentoring project. 4-U-N-I student members read about and research tobacco's influence on youth culture and tobacco's health effects to create and share youth-friendly information with their peers. 4-U-N-I students plan to unveil their film on World No Tobacco Day, May 31, 2008 at Beverly Hills High School. The students are preparing to go into production on April 11, 2008 and welcome production support in the form of supplies or simple cash donations. Contact us if you would like to help.
