There are lots of reasons teens start to smoke. Maybe a friend or someone in your family smokes. Whatever the reason, once you start, you soon learn a nasty little secret: smoking is an addiction and it’s really, really hard to stop.

That’s the reason for this Web site. Smoking stinks, and here’s where you can do something about it. Get the facts on tobacco, visit the Chamber of Horrors, rate tv ads about smoking and download free stuff. If you know a teen who smokes, I Quit can help them stop. Join Anne Arundel County’s annual Tobacco-Free Kids Week and hold your own anti-smoking event or send a friend a butts-kickin' e-card.

Adults who want to help keep kids tobacco-free can find help on the Youth and Tobacco page.
