Member Duties : Members will actively support the Tobacco Program Coordinator by providing assistance and resources for students seeking treatment for nicotine product use. They will also collaborate with classes interested in understanding the health effects of nicotine products to educate students about these effects. Additionally, members will provide assistance to interested students in developing a presentation for the district Board of Education. This presentation will advocate for research-based policies for students found with nicotine products that emphasize educating these students on the effects of nicotine rather than suspending students. The Tobacco Program’s goal is to increase the knowledge of alternative coping skills to nicotine usage for residents, increase the number of adults/youths referred to a program, and increase a positive change in behavior ultimately ceasing nicotine usage.
