Parent Involvement in Cigarette Smoking Prevention: Two Pilot Evaluations of the "Unpuffables Program."

Perry, Cheryl L.; And Others

Journal of School Health, v60 n9 p443-47 Nov 1990

Describes the "Unpuffables Program" in which two states tested receptivity to and feasibility of a smoking prevention activity package for fourth through sixth graders and parents. High awareness and participation rates were seen, and "Unpuffables" provided an opportunity to discuss smoking at home, motivating smokers to consider cessation, and reinforcing nonsmokers' attitudes.
