Porter County Voice

Porter County Voice Voice is a youth movement for teens empowering teens to fight back against big to***co industry's deceptive marketing practices.

Voice Youth
- are not against the smokers-but are against the To***co Industry.
- want to expose the unfair marketing practices of Big To***co.
- want to empower teens with the information they need to fight back against the to***co industry and reduce teen to***co use in Indiana. To***co use is the number one preventable cause of death in the United States and around the World. To***co use starts

in children and teens, so the best way to stop this problem is to prevent it! Here are a few facts to make you think!

-Each day, nearly 4,000 kids in the United States try their first cigarette and an additional 1,000 kids under 18 years of age become new regular, daily smokers. That’s nearly 400,000 new underagedaily smokers in this country each year!
-Roughly one-third of all youth smokers will eventually die prematurely from smoking-caused disease.
-Smoking during youth is also associated with an increased likelihood of using illegal drugs. (to***cofreekids.org)

Just because you are not an adult does not mean you cannot prevent to***co use. Porter County Voice is actually a program for teens against to***co. Check out their webpage to find out more! http://www.voiceaction.tv/WhatsVoice.html

Valpo’s To***co Education & Prevention Coalition (TEPC) goals include: decreasing youth and young adult to***co use rates, decreasing the amount of community members exposed to second-hand smoke, decreasing adult smoking rates, and maintaining local infrastructure necessary to lower to***co use rates. The Indiana Department of Health’s To***co Prevention Commission has provided a grant to TEPC but it does not cover all expenses needed to accomplish our goals.

With your support, TEPC can grow youth involvement in the coalition and take members to the Statehouse in Indianapolis. This experience translates into necessary communication and leadership skills for the next generation of health educators and public policy advocates.

So far TEPC has successfully provided Valparaiso University students with messaging and promotional items at sporting events that encourage students to quit va**ng and smoking. Our very own CONHP faculty and student research determined that the college-aged demographic is especially at risk for adverse effects surrounding the usage of electronic ci******es.

This crowdfunding project will run until May 14 or until the project is fully funded.
