"Smoke Screeners" is an educational program that helps teach media literacy skills to young people, empowering them to make informed decisions about smoking and chewing tobacco by improving their ability to critically analyze the messages they receive about tobacco use in movies and on television. The program includes a moderator's guide and video, and can be used in either a classroom or youth group setting. By drawing attention to how smoking is often normalized (made to look acceptable) or glamorized (made to look cool) in the media, Smoke Screeners will increase student awareness of tobacco use in popular entertainment, reducing the impact that widespread images of smoking have on young people's attitudes and behavior.
