Who is RESIST?
Big Tobacco's Worst Nightmare
Resist is against the tobacco industry, not the tobacco user.
We are RESIST
Resist advocates for the de-normalization of tobacco use among Kansas’ youth and unites communities to create one voice to stand up against the tobacco industry. Youth not only participate in tobacco control prevention activities structured by this program, but they help design and implement them utilizing the Center for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) Best Practices for Youth Engagement. This program was designed to influence both the state and local levels of tobacco control and prevention.
Resist is made possible with the support of the Kansas Department of Health and Environment and the Tobacco Free Kansas Coalition.
Empower & Educate
Resist uses advocacy to expose, educate, and empower teens to stand up to big tobacco’s lies
