World No Tobacco Day TEXT 2 QUIT

Saturday May 30 2009 at Santa Monica Third Street Promenade

Student powered event with activities and prizes!

Kate Swartz will tell you, or anyone who asks, that Tobacco Education is "what I do." Kate, a dynamic USC Health Sciences student has volunteered for TEXT 2 QUIT World No Tobacco Day event on May 30 to teach teens about the dangers of tobacco and the shortcomings of tobacco packaging health warnings.

She has also challenged fellow students from both USC and UCLA to compete to see which school can recruit more students to take part in the BREATHE LA 4UNI Teens Helping Teens Quit Smoking TEXT 2 QUIT EVENT. Check out the Facebook page Kate has set up to fuel the challenge, "USC v. UCLA: World No Tobacco Day - WHO CARES HARDER ?!"
