Kick Butts!: A Kid's Action Guide to a Tobacco-Free America

Resource Type

Book - Child

Description

"Kick Butts! spells out in fascinating detail the history of tobacco in the United States, beginning in the 1870s when cigarettes were hand rolled. As early as 100 years ago, children were attracted to cigarettes because packs included giveaways such as baseball cards. Kick Butts! is also an inspiring action guide featuring a variety of young people who have successfully taken action against tobacco. They have been doing it since the beginning of this century, and their efforts have influenced research, antismoking campaigns, and legislation. Two sections at the end of the book, Tobacco Facts and Resources, are loaded with names, addresses, and Web sites of people and organizations that can help in the war on tobacco. The book is illustrated with over 80 photos and cartoons." --amazon.com
