What is smokeSCREEN?

smokeSCREEN is a free digital game, available as an app and as a web-based version, that teaches adolescents about the dangers of tobacco products, especially cigarettes, e-cigarettes, and vaping. The smokeSCREEN game aligns with National Health Education Standards to provide students with health information and opportunities to make positive decisions in social settings and build up their ability to resist peer pressure. 

While playing smokeSCREEN, students will learn to:
  • Explain how using tobacco products could negatively affect their health and lives. 
  • Demonstrate effective refusal skills to resist the use of tobacco products.
  • Summarize how the media and tobacco marketing aim to influence teens to use their products.
There are two ways to play smokeSCREEN:

Give by December 31 to double your impact through a Matching Challenge Fund from our generous friends at Pizza Hut — twice as many books with a single gift!" There is a red donation button in the lower right corner. On the left side of the graphic is an image of a young girl holding up a book and smiling.
