To participate in the Smokebuster program each school or organization is asked to recruit 5-10 students in 8 to 10th grade. An adult mentor from the school district is also needed to guide the students. The students and mentor are asked to make a commitment to develop an action plan and have a minimum of three presentations educating their audience on the dangers of tobacco use.
The first year-Phase I- teaches the students to serve as advocates for change in their school and community.
The second year-Phase II-focuses on working with the media on tobacco use prevention with an emphasis on secondhand smoke/environmental policy change.
The third year-Phase III-youth are empowered to ask for environmental policy change.
