For World No Tobacco Day–Volusia SWAT Teams and their world partners Senegal, West Africa, have a joint activity. Volusia has conducted interviews with their 13 SWAT teams regarding ETS in their lives and communities. Senegal will also conduct interviews with two groups – a college group, and a neighborhood team. Volusia and Senegal are each developing an album of photos and comments to exchange.
