HEADLINES: Local Teens Attend BUSTED! Conference The TREHAB Drug and Alcohol Prevention Program, in conjunction with the PA Department of Health and the Students Against Smoking Coalition, held a BUSTED! One-Day Conference on November 1 at the Montrose Bible Conference. BUSTED! is Pennsylvania’s anti-tobacco youth movement. Since 2001, teens have organized tobacco prevention programs, established smoke free campaigns, and advocated against tobacco companies under this program. Through regional meetings and statewide summits as well as local events, BUSTED! recruits youth throughout the Commonwealth to advocate against tobacco use.
The Susquehanna County conference was open to all area high school students. Thirty-nine teens representing four school districts in the county participated. Keynote speaker and American Lung Association representative Anthony Delonti shared programs offered to help deter tobacco use, especially among youth. Leadership topics such as team-building, public speaking, and communication skills allowed teens to meet new youth and work together to solve problems. Individual youth and school or community groups interested in joining BUSTED! or the Students Against Smoking Coalition should contact Brandy Pitcher, TREHAB Tobacco Control Specialist, at (570) 278-5237.
