| RAZE | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| RAZE is a statewide youth anti-tobacco movement that exposes Big Tobacco's marketing schemes to get teens hooked on tobacco. RAZE is anti-Big Tobacco. RAZE's goal is to reduce tobacco use among teens. West Virginia teens are working to tear down Big Tobacco's lies every day in every school across the state. RAZE commotions are teen led protests; peaceful demonstrations to draw attention to the dangers of tobacco and to the lies being told by Big Tobacco. Between 2000-2005 West Virginia experienced a 14.8% decline in the percent of high school students who have tried smoking; a 27.8% decline in the percent of high school students who are currently smoking; and a 17.4% decline in the percent of high school boys who have tried smokeless tobacco. |
