According to the CDC, If cigarette smoking continues at the current rate among youth in this country, 5.6 million of today’s Americans younger than 18 will die early from a smoking-related illness. That’s about 1 of every 13 Americans aged 17 years or younger who are alive today. To combat this issue in Breathitt County the 4-H agent for 4-H Youth development designed an educational program to deliver information to youth about the different types of tobacco, and their effects on the human body. The agent presented this lesson at the Breathitt County Day Treatment/ Group home facility, and at the Breathitt County Detention Center after being contacted by facility staff that identified this as being a big issue in their youth populations. All youth completed a survey after the presentation, and 100% of the youth identified that the information was informative, and that they plan to make lifestyle changes on tobacco usage after the viewing the presentation. The agent feels that this presentation was a success and plans to continue educational experiences like these at the facilities with these youth.
